Connections

Université de Sorbonne: My time at the Sorbonne is part of why I am so delighted to be accepted to Cambridge. I spent a semester studying abroad, and when I left France, my heart stayed. There are so many things about France that feel like home: wine, beautiful architecture, and saying hi to friends with a kiss on the cheek are among the more concretely enumerable reasons why. They are important, but there's something of the mindset that's harder to describe and which I prize highly. England and France are not the same country, but I believe that that spark will also be seen in Cambridge.
Wheaton College: I went to Wheaton College after high school, and have kept ties since then. When I realized that some community requirements were set in a way I couldn't keep in good conscience, I left; the experience was painful, but Wheaton remains a place of sharp thinkers and considerable kindness. Wheaton remains close to my heart.

People

Angell O de la Sierra: I met Angell over a mailing list, and he has probably extended a warmer welcome to me than anyone else on the list. Of the different things, I value his warmth most. He also is interested in law, medicine, cognitive science, writing, etc.
Douglas Neal: Doug is author and maintainer of a site on fatherhood and parenting.
Josh Wibberley: Josh grew up in Turkey, writes, thinks, and makes web pages. He's also good at entering other people's worlds.
Robin Munn: Robin is my best friend. He grew up in France, double majored in computer science and philosophy, and wants to provide technical support for missionaries. He wants very much to be a good listener in his interactions with other people.
