Individual Crossroads Reflections

Carisa Henze

Crossroads Class of 1989

Carol and Arthur were a tremendous resource to me and all my classmates. I remember Carol’s amazing trips to Chicago and Europe (I fondly remember us rambling in the countryside and experiencing Shakespeare in Stratford-Upon-Avon!) and Arthur’s World Politics class that provoked so many engaging class discussions from Newsweek magazine to those coveted off-campus lunch privileges at each other’s homes. Most of all, one of my favorite themes in class was the banner above the chalkboard in the World Politics class that read “There are no stupid questions.” From those wonderful days to now, I believe there are no stupid questions in life.

Thank you, Crossroads, for allowing me to become a real student in this journey of life where I can be curious about all things diverse and unknown to me. I am truly grateful for the gifts that I received from Crossroads and the Crossroads community.
