Friends and I have had discussions about religion, sexual orientation, etc. we are all open minded about each other’s opinions and thoughts. At Wheelock we’re able to express our own identity. We are all (well most...

While it helps me understand my identity better, it also confuses me and is isolating especially from the people and things that mean the most to me. My own experiences and personality have combined to create...
