Greetings!

Hello friends,

This blog is intended to serve as a living document of my time in college. I am currently a student at East Tennessee State University, where I am studying Political Science and English Literature. Those subjects are near to my heart and alive in my brain because I think words have the capacity to change the world for good or bad. I'd like to be a part of the good. Alas, we will return to my studies in later posts I'm sure.

The most important thing to know about the way this blog is set up is that it will specifically follow my journey as a member of the Presidential Honors Community Service Scholars Program.  As a part of this group, I have a responsibility to be honest and introspective about who I am, where I'm from, how I am influenced, and ways in which I need to grow. Hopefully, I can dig into those questions while also reaching outside of myself and into the community around me. Ideally, the community and I engage in a healthy relationship, where each is benefiting from the presence of the other.

Fingers crossed.
