"First say to yourself what
you would be; and then do
what you have to do."
-Epictetus
“Sarah’s personal style, her eloquence, and most importantly, her compassion, inspired me to keep going even when the only thing left for me to do was to give up on a particular piece. She truly illuminated my path and I will always be grateful. Even after years of writing, taking Sarah’s class was like walking out of a wall of fog. It was so refreshing to see the sun again. “
