    A drop of water
    Falling into the vast ocean
    Will never evaporate
    Until the ocean does.

    Just so, merit
    Fully dedicated toward enlightenment
    Will never vanish
    Before enlightenment is reached.

    Hi Professors :)
    Hope all is well. I’d love to pick your brains at some point about graduate programs. I think my strongest area as a writer is in creative non-fiction, and I’d love to hear about which programs you think would be good ones for me.

    Best,
    Margaret

    I’m so excited to have found this! Two of my favorite English professors! Juan, I’m so happy you’re headed back to El Salvador this fall, can’t wait to read your updates, and I would love to get together for coffee when you get back. So proud to say I graduated with an English major from Santa Clara! Miss you both.

    Best,
    Margaret

    Just what I’ve been looking for! Had a great experience in a writing workshop for breast cancer survivors. After our wonderful teacher moved out of the area, I’ve been looking for a followup. Thank you for this site! Namaste.
