Intro: Lillian Hsu

Moving forward into this living and learning community, I feel slightly apprehensive, as I’m sure do a lot of my housemates.  For me, I know that I have a lot of stereotypes about almost everything and everyone I encounter in daily life.  Whether it’s an Asian student who I assume is pre-medicine, or an insanely tall male I assume is on the basketball team, I sometimes feel like my whole life revolves around stereotypes. This project is about my housemates and I, learning as a team, how to live without defining ourselves and our surroundings by what wethink we already know about them.  It’s about learning how to take things at face value without preconceived notions.  And it is for these very purposes that I am beyond excited to work with the Harris Hillman school.  I know we will all gain an invaluable experience this year.
