Why U.S. College Admissions Systems Work Against Gap-Year Students Like Me
Recent Inspiration I’ve Read or Heard
“Once upon a time, a cartoonist named Walt Disney created an animal character called Bambi, and in one year, deer hunting nose-dived from a $5.7 million business to a $1 million business. The power of art over argument. Statues mandating more humane treatment for draft horses were initiated by a book: Black Beauty. You want to convince the unconvinced? Don’t call to arms-call to art!” －anonymous
“What makes each of us a poet are the stories we tell about ourselves. We believe in ourselves. That is the most powerful thing of all.” －Tara Conklin, Last Romantics
“If you want to believe, then believe in honest conversations, believe in putting your best foot forward. Believe in the kindness of others, the warmth of the sun, the beauty of the ocean. Believe in slowing down and appreciating all of life’s most intimate and tiny details. Believe in wonder, adventure, and the nostalgia of marshmallows around campfires. Believe in art galleries, bookstores, observatories, and the power of other people’s stories.” － Courtney peppernell, Watering The Soul
