And eventually, with the help of my wonderful professor, Kalman Bland, I had a breakthrough, an "aha" moment, an epiphany. It was a powerful experience. And that process, I would argue, is what a true liberal arts education is all about.
So, what was your enlightenment?

I didn't write it down because some might view it as too PPB. And that's okay.

The process was as important to me as the breakthrough.
