Week 1 Emil
A Student Response From:EmilTo me, truth is deeply entwined with love, because to love someone or something you have to care enough to know about them.

Week 1 Rene
A Student Response From:ReneWhen I was a kid, I was kicked out of my fifth-grade class.

I have …
Week 1 Anran
A Student Response From:Anran ZhangI don’t know how much I expected people to know each other. I’ve come to realize that it’s a luxury to want a person to feel me the way I feel that person. There may not be another piece of the puzzle that perfectly fits me, and if there was, it would be one in seven …
Week 1 Nora
A Student Response From:Nora VaneskyHi Rose! There were a few lines within your week 1 writing that really stood out to me — thinking about favorite places, whether real or imagined, and your next line that brings this idea of place to the sensations we feel when we are there. Can you love a place without loving who, or what, …
