1 week agoI just graduated from Yale. Now, I'm back with my family in low-income housing, and I'm not sure where I belong.
Returning to my family’s Brooklyn home after graduating from Yale was a jarring shift from the privileged environment I had become accustomed to. The emotional transition involved reconnecting with my roots and the close-knit community I grew up with, including numerous low-income neighbors who shared love, laughter, and communal meals. I went from a world of private dorms and academic ambition back to an environment where I celebrated small moments and cherished relationships, like taking my young neighbor to Coney Island for ice cream.
