As we continued to write about different things, I learned a lot about myself as a college

What did you like about this script? The main things I liked about this script were its comedic anecdotes’ on contrasting the past and the present, Dr. Bogia’s determination to replace Dr. Steinfrank and the innocence that Linc’s character brings to the script.

I remember reading somewhere that, unlike most of the other Founding Fathers, Jefferson never kept a diary. Because of this and his tendency to stay quiet (which we know about from the writings of those who knew him), the personality of one of the greatest men of all time has been mostly lost to history. When I was told that I not only could, but had to write about whatever I wanted for a formal paper, I was (like almost everyone else in the class) excited. Not soon after, however, the task became
