Finding the Good Way: Retracing My Mother’s Journey in the Himalayas

Growing up, I always assumed I would be just like my mother. I would travel to India… and yes, of course I would get my PhD. Why? Because my mom did. Now, at seventeen years old myself, I can only hope to follow in her footsteps. Not by getting a PhD in anthropology, or traveling …

My copy of The Best and the Brightest by David Halberstam is filled with notations I’ve scrawled in the margins during repeated readings, and one of my favorite lines is the opening sentence of Chapter Eight:  “The essence of good foreign policy is constant re-examination.” In fact, this concept holds true at all levels of …
