"I, Jen White, pledge to document my everyday life in the year 2024. I may not do it perfectly. I may not do it every day. But I’m looking forward to the reward of a year well documented."

This was the pledge I, and now many others, made after enrolling in Stories, My Everyday Life.

The key word in the pledge is: BUT.

Regardless of how well I do in this class, one thing is certain -- my accomplishments will be greater than what I started with. I will have told more stories. I will have taken more photos. I will have left a better legacy.
