“Goddard sneaks up on you. I don’t think I, or any of my fellow students, knew just how much it would explode into our lives. None of us knew how magical Goddard would be. Goddard didn’t just teach me how to write better. It taught me to write confidently, openly, honestly. It taught me to live that way, too. It taught me to live better, laugh better, think better. Goddard taught me that I could be who I’d always kind of thought I should be, but never allowed myself to be. Getting accepted here means getting accepted into a school and a community. It’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to me.”
