The fight for diverse and conscious voices

I can definitely say that reading the accomplishments of some MIT grads makes me feel like I've done bugger all in my life. Then I think back to every time someone's said to me, "thank you--that really helped," or every time I've made someone laugh, or every pretty shawl I've knit, or every meal I've ever made that fed someone's body and soul. I may not have spent my time working on big things, but damn it, I've done a lot of LITTLE things that are also important.
