Dacia Smith '27
Warrenville, IL
English Writing Major
To Dacia, writing is like “excavating a buried city. Sometimes it can be painstakingly slow as you spend hours sifting through a small piece of earth; at other times, there are bursts of discovery. You're digging, scraping, brushing, and you realize that you're not only discovering more about your subject – you're discovering part of yourself. Others can join you in the excavation, or gaze in wonder at the uncovered exhibit.”
