MADISON BUCKNER

When I think of our educational
institution and attempt
to pinpoint my favourite
experience in my short year as a
transfer student, I am presented
with a myriad of adventures:
the classes, strangers becoming
friends, the post-exam
celebratory sushi lunches. Yet,
of my 26 weeks of a student last
year, the predominant memory
is the scent of an oil diffuser.
I believe there is a connection
between our sense and our
emotions; it is this intangible

aroma that defines my first
year. Rather, it represents the
nurturing, championing and
freedom of self-expression that
you will gain as a student from
the office of which the smell

stems: Graham Pearce.

Prior to registering in Pearce’s
103 class, Composition and
Style, I had mapped myself to
complete my first-year English
credits online. A close friend of
mine, a former College of New

Caledonia Social Work student,
caught wind of my game plan
and immediately protested my
decision. He told me that if I
cated about my education at
all, I would get myself a seat
in Graham’s class; he sang
Graham’s praises. Despite my
reservations (how can one
instructor hold such revere, it
must be a one-off rapport),
I listened to my friend and
secured one of the last seats in
the class.
