Now more than ever, it has become apparent to me that people, especially women, have problems with asking for what they want. For example, I’m currently studying abroad in Santiago, Chile, and have a few friends who are having issues with their host-family living situations. I have a friend whom I will call Lisa. She [...]

I spend a decent portion of my time speaking to inner-city youth about their options after high school. Though every group of students is different, I always get the question, “Is college hard?” The easy answer is, “Not if you apply yourself.” But the truth is, sometimes applying yourself just isn’t enough.
