REFLECTION

When I finally gathered the strength to pick up my pen for my assignment after hours (read: days) of procrastination, never could I imagine the product of my brain-constipation making it to publication. Being able to defend the case for a social issue I genuinely feel passionate about while earning credits for graduation feels almost like cheating. Working with the editor is a great joy, and having the opportunity to take part in the publishing process is an eye-opening experience for literature noobs like me. Hope you enjoy the feature article as much as I do!
