Context: It is a real thrill to be back home. When I was here I was not as endeared to this institution as I am now. You learn in retrospect and appreciate as you move on. I was indeed shaped by my experience at Smith—it was the first time I had to struggle. It was the very first time I learned how to determine and focus very specifically on the things that I felt were important, to strategize and to learn how to go about getting them and making them happen. While it was painful then, I am truly thankful for that experience now.
“It is not so important to know everything as to appreciate what we learn.”
Hannah More (1745–1833) English religious writer and philanthropist
“Sometimes there is no next time, no time-outs, no second chances. Sometimes it’s now or never.”
