In pediatrics, there’s a thing called milestones. We love talking to families and children about them. Drawing a square. Tying shoe laces. Learning how to ride a bike. They’re markers of growth in a child’s development. At every annual physical exam, we check in on how they’re doing in school, what fruits and vegetables they like, how much exercise they’re getting. We love to learn about their interests, like art or music. We measure their height and weight. We show them how much they’ve grown.
I’ll Give You a Daisy a Day, Dear
By Vienna Scott, BF ‘21. Vienna is majoring in Religious Studies and Political Science.
While Coronavirus rages outside, we sit quarantined, like that prophetic family on an arc, together. Not rain, but disease fills the outside world. Every once in a while, I spend some time outside, moseying around the first budding flowers, thrusting through the remaining fringe of snow. Amidst the crocus buds and daffodil stems, I’m hoping to find the first daisy of Spring.
Psalm 13
By Bradley Yam, SY ‘21. Bradley is majoring in Ethics, Politics & Economics.
I remember when I walked in knowledge that you love me, I remember when I thought of you and felt only joy, I remember when I was sure that you were so near to me, I could almost reach out and touch you.
