    Have you ever heard of a tap tap? Three summers ago, I discovered a tap tap not just a nickname for banging a pencil on a deck, but a kind of taxi in Haiti. They are called tap taps because the passengers will signal the driver to stop or go by simply tapping on the back of the truck. I learned this fact on a mission trip to Haiti three summers ago. The trip was a very eye opening experience where I learned that I have many things to be thankful for.…

    Sarah Braun, a 2007 Monmouth College graduate, is living proof that curiosity can take you anywhere. The showcase of Braun’s adventurous lifestyle and attitude was a wonderful way for us incoming college freshman to see the many opportunities that can be possible if one only strives hard enough and applies themselves within a liberal arts curriculum. Braun’s thesis of curiosity can take you anywhere applies to our recent reading of the book Curious by Ian Leslie. As Braun mentioned within the convocation, Leslie describes diversive curiosity as, “follows no particular process or method, but slides from one novel object of attention to the next” (Leslie). Braun explained that it was this type of curiosity that led her to some of her passions.…

    When I was about eight years old with blue eyes, blonde braids, and wearing my favorite purple tie dye swimsuit, one of my favorite pastimes during the summer was “saving” bugs from our swimming pool. I would swim around the edges of the pool and look for bugs to rescue and nurse back to health, occasionally designating a box in which to place them. On one occasion, my mom walked outside to find me rescuing bugs and separating the living ones from the dead. I would place the dead ones on a piece of paper, but the living ones I put in my box with leaves and flowers. When my mom asked me about it, I promptly answered, "The bugs in the box are in hospice!"…
