In these past four years, I have learned that the relationships that I have with my friends, teachers, co-workers and community hold extreme value. It’s within these connections that I learn the best lessons about life, myself and the world. The people I have met and shared memories or knowledge with were the most fulfilling part of any experience I have had.</p> Fri, 01 Sep 2023 19:03:23 +0000 Christina Rajkumar 1119 at /arts
