| Colton Stinger Class of 2019 |
The opportunities I have been afforded in the last few months have been almost unparalleled. Though I have not seen sights from around the world first hand, I have experienced pieces of knowledge and thought from across the world and time. Some of our discussions have been about stories that hold lessons, with some stories actually forbidding the reader from even attempting to make such an inference.
While many of the readings and discussions have been enlightening, it has been the chances to actually ask some of our guests what they think, and to listen and share in the bits of knowledge they have accumulated over their lifespan. One of the more memorable discussions lasted well beyond the seminar our topics had originated in, and continued into quite an intriguing exchange about everything from monarchy, leadership, religion, and responsibility. In such a short time, I have been convinced that it was an excellent decision to come here, and accept the many opportunities that are to come.
