As someone who thinks of himself as a fast walker, I’ve noticed a definite slowing of my pace since I arrived at The Lawrenceville School for the Klingenstein Summer Institute. Every conversation, discussion, lecture, or reading has weighed heavily on me between sessions. To acknowledge Dr. Pearl Rock Kane’s opening address, I have been complicated. This sends me on wild spirals of self-doubt and despair, but also brings me great moments of affirmation. Overall, I think it balances out into that much-needed sense of discomfort that propels me to be better.
