A Student Response From:ArmelleHow to approach these feelings — intention, dedication, and investment, even love. It has been almost a week of ruminating in my thoughts.

A Student Response From:KadeDedication. Mother Earth is determined to tamper with the seasons. Truly invested in ending one so that another may bloom and bring hope.
