Hey so, i would encourage my fellow performers to not do any shows at the Kennedy Center until it reverts to it’s original name
Thank you for your attention to this matter
(yes I’ve already performed there so it’s an easier decision for me)

I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.
