Now, What?

Every person in the great tapestry particular tale inside of them, one that weaves together their experiences, desires, and the paths they take. The students who choose to study Literature in college are one particular group of people who, against the backdrop of higher education, have set out on a path that has profoundly changed their lives. This book is a tribute to all of the untold stories that each student who has chosen the path of literary exploration carries inside them. It is a recognition that every decision to study Literature is accompanied by a tapestry of unique personal motives, difficulties, and victories that should be heard, embraced, and shared.
May these stories encourage you to embrace your own story, appreciate the diversity and depth of the human experience, and acknowledge the transforming potential of Literature study for both our own lives and the wider world. We hope that this book will serve as a monument to these stories by providing a glimpse into the rich tapestry that is created when Literature and personal ventures collide, intertwine, and melt into each other.
