Prep note for 9/21

I am very sad that I was not able to attend the group lunch with Kelvin, Terrence and Dave but Nick’s prep note and Kristine’s reply also gave me really good insight. One thing that surprised me was how much they were interested in us as students and curious to why we choose to take this class. I had envisioned the lunch going more like an interview, students asking visitors a lot of questions but it seemed to end up to be more like a conversation. Something that really stuck with me was “Terrence could’ve written a lot more, and extraordinarily. Could’ve shared so much more. However, his experience wasn’t something to glorify but to help him heal and move forward.” Knowing your limits, and always understanding why you’re doing something and trying to do it for the right reason is so important. Terrence talks about struggling with understanding his identity, but based on his actions I think he is more aware of himself and who he is than he knows.
