Honors Application
The UW Honors application essay prompt about surviving a year "unplugged" gave me an opportunity to reflect on my Waldorf eduction in elementary and middle school, my experiences being "off the grid", and my thoughts about our ever more technologically connected world. My thoughts about the topic have changed little since I wrote this essay in 2008, but I am more connected and plugged-in than ever. I continue to try to strike a balance between being connected to a fast-moving and every-changing culture, and being free from the confines of technology and able to be present in the moment.
