“Bollywood. The scent of new silk saris and soft saffron marigolds draped across open archways. Bollywood. The sound of heavy drums and crisp falsettos in spring fields. Bollywood. The sight of flowing red fabrics against ivory snow mountains. Outrageous color and overwhelming sights. Bollywood. My first teacher.”
“In seventh grade, I snapped, and began evading other aspects of my life as well. Summer camp, family and social events, even my own bar mitzvah passed me by, as my bed became the only place I felt safe.”

“The decision I made when I was nine to change who I was and make a sorry attempt at becoming ‘cool’ caused a fissure in my personality, masking the true me. The thing I most look forward to at college is being able to lay the fake me to rest, allowing the real me to show his face.”
“She was seventeen and had already written so much because it’s what she loved to do. She didn't wait to be taught how to write properly--she just went for it. Rachel was the first person I saw passionately pursue learning on her own. Up until this point I assumed all learning was bound to the classroom. I never knew learning could be enjoyable. My new goal was to put my energy towards things I found interesting and not wait for school to teach them to me. I began to start to learn the way Rachel did.”
