I had begun to write satire in the winter of my junior year. Initially, I had begun writing absurdist essays, with some of the less naughty works bearing (in a Swiftian fashion) long-winded titles

Ever since I was little I’ve been obsessed with all things magic. I loved making potions (water and dirt), casting spells (reciting words from Wizards of Waverly Place), and swimming during a full moon (thank you H20).

Since the moment I came to Tabor I've always wanted to pursue a senior project. My intended major in college is Entrepreneurial Business, so this was the perfect opportunity to pursue a business venture.

I have always wanted to do a senior project. My sisters each did them at their own schools, so when I heard that I too would have the opportunity to do one at Tabor I was elated.

A couple of years ago I stumbled upon a YouTube channel called Wicked Salty. The videos were about a guy from Massachusetts who bought a small sailboat, fixed it up, and made way to the Bahamas. I was hooked as the sense of adventure and freedom from his videos captivated me.

Behind every accomplishment lies some form of motivation. Consider some of life's most notable accomplishments: high school graduation, securing a job, providing food for the family, or buying that first car.

One of the true joys I have discovered throughout my life has been found when I am able to take the time necessary to step back, pause, and clear away the daily clutter of a highly imbalanced routine.

Tabor is in the midst of its third full week of distance learning, and I feel the weight of just how much has changed since we all departed for spring break.

After 20 years at Tabor, I applied for and received a two-trimester-long sabbatical to take place during the winter and spring semesters of this school year.
