In our movement towards digital technology, we risk the loss of one of the most treasured forms of human communication.

As a college student, I am very familiar with the necessity of writing. From class essays to job applications to blogging at Earth to Berkeley, storytelling is integral to my life. Sharing a story on Earth to Berkeley is one of my new favorite parts of my week.

I’m working to be confident in what I write every week. I tell myself at every rereading and every edit that if I put my best foot forward, I’ll make something worthwhile. Even if it’s just a list of recipes rather than a heartfelt confession like this, I know I’m putting in the steps to improve.
