It was a 40-minute commute from my home in Greenfield, Indiana to my summer job just south of downtown Indianapolis. I worked at a thrift store associated with Saint Vincent DePaul, a Catholic-based charity dedicated to offering education and support for the most vulnerable in our communities. In addition to working the storefront, I volunteered with a branch of their unsheltered ministries. It changed my life, to say the least.

Welcome to yet another phase in this “struggle” of life. It is tempting to open with overtures like ”you must love to read books,” but you already know that — you are a student here. Of the plethora of books out there, (auto)biographies easily reign supreme. Bundle memoirs and histories do as well. What are histories but the biographies of societies? Societies are living beings that must evolve.
