Dear Columbia,
When I first stepped on your campus at the beginning of my sophomore year, I did not know what was in store for me. I honestly felt like Whitney Port (from "The Hills"/"The City") going to a different city, not knowing anyone, and pursuing my dreams. My three years here have been something. I’ve met people I never thought I would meet, made friends that I...

My summers used to consist of packing up two enormous duffel bags and heading off to my beloved overnight camp in northern Wisconsin for two months. I was barely home before school started again in the fall. However, 4 years ago, I ended my camping career and tried out summer life at home. At first, it was rough.

It doesn’t invoke self-pity of any kind like one might think but helps readers to dissect the root of hate, racial tensions and a life many in this generation couldn't fathom.
I am in awe of his unwavering diligence and...
