The Circle became a legacy. I was eager to eliminate the power dynamics of a classroom and so, we changed our environment. We were all equally powerful members, not more as an instructor, not less as a student. We talked about our lives, our cultures, our relationships, our stressors, our accomplishments, our frustrations, and so much more. Their voices are strong and resilient. Their stories are valuable. They are destined for great things, and I am proud to have been their very first college professor!-Dr. Peren Sabuncu
