Where were you on NYE 2017?
-Oncle Blend restaurant, Casablanca
Who were you with on NYE 2017?
-Stacey, Shanti, Mandy, Llewelyn, and their two sweet friends
What was the hardest you laughed in 2017?
-H period, grade 7... Fidu got stuck under some desks, and his face was the strangest mixture of terror and surprise. I laugh until I pee just retelling it!
What was the best moment of 2017?
-sitting on the front steps, held close, holding Scrappy the cat, looking up at the moon and the minaret.
What was an embarrassing moment of 2017?
-It had to do with an Uber, and a bunch of taxi drivers calling the police, and my cousins seeing me lose my mind.
What day in 2017 would you live over and over?
-There were so many beautiful trips, people, and days this year. It was a charmed year. I would re-live a trip to the zoo in Chicago, an evening in Prague, an afternoon on the dunes of Merzouga... But whole days that I remember:

-Stacey, Carolyn C., Sandy, and Marcia and I explored Paris for a day. Sandy had the map, and knew what was going on. I stared wide-eyed, feet only occasionally touching the ground.
-Carmen and I visited Rabat together this fall, and start to finish, it was so relaxing. We let our feet take us wherever there was movement: the casbah and the medina, an art museum, the mausoleum and the Tour Hassan II. We let our talk be whatever we thought of, and we thought of many interesting things.

Most memorable trip of 2017?
Most memorable trip of 2017?
-The top moment of the many trips was when my aunt and cousins came here, and we traveled an hour to the south of Casa. A sweet dog led us from our riad to a stony shore (not a typo; a dog led us there: magical, right?) where we watched the sun set from the eastern side of the Atlantic.
What was your biggest lesson of 2017?
-Love is a good risk. You can love.
Who was the most influential person in your year?
-Tyler
What was the bravest thing you did in 2017?
-I didn't make plans for winter break: three weeks to find solid ground, mostly alone.
What was the kindest thing you did in 2017?
-Probably one of those moments when I told the truth in order to benefit someone else, even though it cost me something to do it. I have no particular moment in mind, I just think that's a kind thing we can do for each other, out of earnest love and compassion.
What was the best advice you gave, or the best conversation you had in 2017?
-Two eleventh-grade girls stayed after school for help on their essays this fall. That conversation was a prize to me. They were such a delight to see outside of the classroom pressure and on their own terms.
