When I was an undergraduate in the UK several years ago, I found it nearly impossible to get up and trudge through the dreary English weather to make it in time for 9am lectures. So you can imagine how shocking it is that I am now not only happily making my 8.30am classes after navigating the snowy streets of Cambridge, but even voluntarily attending workshops and lectures on the weekends. Where is all the motivation coming from?!
Well… perhaps it’s the draw of purposeful, creative learning in the classroom; perhaps it’s the unique chance to experience student-led dynamic social justice workshops in a single day; perhaps it’s the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear several distinguished professors from different Harvard schools speak in one night. Whatever the motivation, it is clear that there is no stopping us from making the most out of our experience here at Harvard.
Or should I say… there’s s(no)w stopping us 🙂
