My Creative University Application Essays
Every year, seniors dread completing university supplementary applications and for good reasons — the questions are tedious to answer and they make you doubt your achievements.

Auntie Liz and the Kalumburu kids.
Teaching is a good lark for the work-shy, some say. Little physical labour, not much mental work either after the first year when you’ve got your lesson plans all done, and there’s a short working day with 12 weeks’ annual leave and you get a fulltime salary.

As soon as it was announced my NYC college would switch to online learning, Erin emailed a message to the entire community asking for drawings to be sent to the women of the Bedford Hills College Program: an organization that allows incarcerated women to receive an accessible college education while still carrying out their sentences at Bedford Hills.
