outshine it

Inspiration for the week of 9/15-9/21:

• 1972 by Noritaka Minami
• "The powerful and important thing about spoken word is, it doesn't matter what it looks like on paper. It's about what it sounds like when you say it out loud" — [the wonderful, lovely, amazing] Sarah Kay, via Education Week
• "Never apologize for your course of study — outshine it." — (I am so grateful for this quote. The posts on this Tumbleog honestly made me tear up after reading through the "English major success" tag.)
• the lovely Nancy H. for motivating me to keep "blogblogging"
