Not meaning to wax poetic cliché, but, for me, education is enriching to the lives of all students privileged to experience it. It nourishes their souls, it enables their lives to be lived in a broader and more meaningful sense, it allows them to better understand themselves and one another (and perhaps in so understanding better able to care for themselves and others).

This has spanned a repertoire from Shakespeare – Hamlet, As You Like It, and Twelfth Night – to contemporary and classic literature – The Handmaid’s Tale, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein – to studies in politics and English proficiency.
