The room is split down the middle only by a color scheme; on the right there is a blue and black Dr. Who poster, a paneled drawing of the four seasons using only stark black and white trees, a blue landscape photo, a bed sheet of penguins, a blue and purple beta fish.

Eight-year-old Colleen Clark, like many 8-year-old girls in elementary schools around the United States, was assigned to play the flute in her school orchestra. To Colleen, however, that wasn’t going to cut it.
“But Dad, I need to play the drums,” she remembers pleading with her father. Around this time, she had worn out her parents’ Buddy Rich cassette tapes, as well as...

In New Milford, Connecticut, sprawling across 150 acres of green hillside, there is a small Roman Catholic private high school. Canterbury School is where SUNY Purchase junior journalism major Sarah D’Andrea began to spread her wings, and is a place she still considers home.

Ten years ago, September 11th happened nearly in Purchase College’s backyard. College students were then in elementary schools when the attack hit; some far away, some living right in Manhattan, but each has their own unforgettable experience. One student, Alyson Lopez, a biology major and senior of Brooklyn, shares her story.
