“This tree casts shade outside the boundary set around it. This always reminds me that while there are limitations in life, those should not limit the impact I have on each day. While I was initially drawn to this place because of the nice shade, it has served as a place of quite contemplation and a nice spot to just read a book for fun. The tree reminds me of a large tree we had in front of my home while growing up, which I always associated with my family identity because it was tiny when they first moved to the area.”

 

“Stanford has made me a very critical person. I like to question things and sometimes I even feel like I am overdoing it. But through this process of questioning everything, including my thoughts, it has gotten me closer to understanding who I really am and what I am about.”
