Beautiful Liz! We need more of these stories out there exploring the complexity of career paths and sharing them with our students who want so deeply to imagine a smooth and linear path ahead for themselves.
I really like this incarnation of the story. Great context. I always see Mr. Smith as a villain of sorts, ignoring this wild-eyed young student, but in the interest of fact-checking maybe I should cut him some slack. I'm just glad you persisted!

What a great use of your time ! Keep it up Liz!
Thank you, Beth ❤️
I look forward to reading your book! I guess it'll be a Metamorphosis story as well as an Origin story. It's exciting to watch your journey.
That is a good metaphor! Though maybe I should be thinking about a plant-y one . . . Maybe something about developmental plasticity??
:). Or photomorphogenesis, after you "saw the light" :)
Brilliant writing and if this is the start, the book will be superb. And important. So glad you’re doing this!!
Anne!!! Thank you so much for the encouragement. We need to catch up ❤️

Classic memoir move, interrogating an origin story!
Memories ain't what they used to be, that's for sure.
