Through our seminars, workshops, and publications, we encourage a journal of freshman writing students to share their understanding of the world through writing. We are proud to present in this volume a selection of work produced by our freshman writers. These essays were chosen by a student and faculty editorial board from an already select pool of essays nominated by the Critical Writing faculty. The Critical Writing Program is part of the Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing (CPCW) at the University of Pennsylvania.
