the teachers are just so supportive they really support your academic goals your creative goals um only do they support you they give you the tools to get to those goals they opened up a whole world to me of creative writing that I had no idea even existed our classes are small and intimate and very nurturing so we know our students names pretty quickly in this semester and we really get to know and care about them um and the students feel that I think that any work that you do any writing you do is more interesting when it's like driven by your interest and Marshall is really about that in all the English classes I think there's a lot of variety in the classes you can take if you want to take an autobiography if you want to take a fiction modernism literally anything you can think of it's there in front of you for you to explore that option and just see what you like I like truly believe that my experience was made from being in a apartment where I met people who were brilliant we all kind of saw ourselves taken to a place that we didn't think was achievable and then now we're here yeah I think that Marshall just means Community to me in that way it's somewhere I can be and grow and feel supported and always feel like I can pursue the next thing and know that Marshall has my back even if I'm not here [Music]
