Accompaniment

Imagine applying for a position; imagine putting your whole heart into the application process and placing everything you have into the pursuit of this job. What if you knew that in order to secure that job, and keep it, it would be necessary to conceal a part of yourself. Consider being passed over for promotions, treated poorly by your colleagues, and being unfairly dismissed from your position simply because of the way you chose to conduct yourself in your private life.

My response to sexual assault stands out among the personal accomplishments of which I am proudest. For over a year, I struggled in therapy to learn to control the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I took solace in the relationships I forged at school: I revered my professors and met several like-minded peers who became friends. Despite everything, I made the Dean’s list for that Spring semester. I devoted myself to my work in the Writing Center, even volunteering to visit…

The metronome speed for a full bar varies between 60 and 70, with the waltzes of the Johann Strauss I often played faster than those of…

alternated between singing in a nasal tone in one verse and singing without it in another. In songs with multiple soloists, one often sang is a nasal tone while the other did not.

illustrates in “The Flowers” how easily “the snakes” can be unveiled to a small child. Myop was a young girl “she was ten,” and knew very little of the world outside of “her song, the stick clutched in her dark brown hand, and the tat-de-ta-ta-ta of accompaniment. In the third paragraph, the mood of the story changes.…
