September Post #1
My name is Susie Yoon and I’m a senior attending an all-girls independent school in New York. This blog was initiated as a part of my signature project, a project curriculum flexible to the student’s interest.
As a curious child, I was always eager to learn more about the world surrounding me. This energy was developed through reading, but also insightful interactions with others. Out of all the topics that I could have investigated, I choose the topic of sexual misconduct on college campuses. This topic was a path I had never imagined investigating upon, because it is a taboo subject in our modern society. However, it was inevitable, as this societal violence currently thrives upon our people of all genders and sexual orientation. My interest in maintaining justice in our society led me to further research this issue by reading a variety of sources, including personal accounts of unfortunate events. The most supportive resource was a book by Andrea L. Pino and Annie E. Clark, both survivors of sexual misconduct on college campuses. We Believe You not only included their personal stories, but also dozens of other survivor’s traumatic accounts of their experiences. This resource allowed me to gain a better perspective on the crucialness of change on college campuses. The emotional connection I felt as a future college student led me to start this project, which aims to create an academic curriculum for both high schools and colleges, allowing them to be more aware of their surroundings and capabilities.
