How did you get here?

Catalog description

In this class, you will answer a simple yet dizzyingly complicated question: how did you get here? All Stanford students got here somehow from somewhere, surely with the help of someone or something, but what's your story? In what ways have you moved (or been moved) along your journey, and what do you attribute that movement to? Community? Diligence? Luck? Sacrifice? Compassion? All of the above? What does it even mean to be here?
