I really looked forward to the first meeting for LCS and by the end of class felt even more glad to have joined this meaningful program. This first class of the quarter was focused on learning about the class itself, professors, and my classmates. We primarily went over the syllabus, the expectations, and deadlines. I was particularly surprised by how interactive the class was and all the events that were planned; I can say with confidence that the LCS class is unlike any college course I have taken so far by a long stretch. It is a breath of fresh air and a nice break from the usual classroom-oriented classes that all college students primarily take. As Professor Lewis and Professor Bussell wished for the scholars, I believe that USP 141A is a class that I will be eager and excited to attend every week.
It was so interesting to learn about my fellow classmates' extraordinary person. Each scholar only spoke for a few minutes about their EP, but it was enough time to realize the diversity of the class and the unique backgrounds of every student. For example, we learned that the LCSers collectively speak more than 10 different languages, which was a pleasant surprise. This small activity was especially fruitful and meaningful, and I am sure that there will be much to learn from the oral history project as we start working on it.
I am thankful that an invaluable program like LCS exists for the students and am honored to be a part of this wonderful class.
