Maybe not openminded after all?

Writer's Journal

In the last year, I have come to see that openmindedness and tolerance for others’ opinions is nonexistent (or nearly so) among my family, both among those who are close and even more so among those who are of my extended family. The derision, condescension, and hostility is so great when taken together as a whole that I am left to question myself, to question whether I am similarly affected.

Writer's Journal

I feel like I am being shot out of a cannon. The second and final year of my college photography degree has begun, and I feel overwhelmed by the business class (Photo 200).
