It's the end of August, 2026. I am sitting in my living room with binders, paper, and books spread out chaotically across the coffee table. Laptop in lap. I am experiencing a moment of joy. The nostalgic joy of rushing to end the summer and meticulously combing through school supplies to make sure they are all present and to best prepare myself for the upcoming year of learning. This is my happy place. Well, one of them. There is something about starting out on a new journey.
