The Sculptor of Life After reading "The Open Boat" and reflecting back on my life‚ I realized that I am who I am mostly because of the environment I grew up in.

A plethora of memories swarmed my thoughts‚ like mosquitos under a light as I drove through urban Minneapolis on August 13th. We reached St. Olaf around 9 am‚ just in time as the first year football players were supposed to move in.
