“I see so many people… who appear unhappy because they don’t choose to do things they love with intensity, and consciousness, and courage. If I can get people to lower their egos/defense mechanisms and open their minds–to dream bigger and to chase those dreams… then I feel like I’m doing the part of my job that matters most.
The pursuit of the things we find true and beautiful is never a frivolous endeavor, despite what we may be conditioned to believe.”
– Michael Chang, TA at the University of NM, from a Facebook post in 2012
