“I hope my students learn to welcome nuance and ambiguity in their lives. I hope they learn to not be afraid of lacking that quick and perfect answer, to lean into the discomfort of not knowing. I hope they can gain a better understanding of themselves by listening to others who are different from them, by opening up to the possibilities of the unfamiliar, by loving the process of discovering the other.”
