   Hi everyone, my name is Tracey! I’m a freshman here at Baruch. The question I will be answering about myself is “ What book has had the most profound impact on your life?”

   I love reading, so there is a lot of books which have moved me deeply, but a book that has had the most profound impact on my life, is A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. I know a lot of people read this book in middle school, but I hadn’t read it up until a year ago. This book dives into the painful and complex lives of Afghan women against the backdrop of war. Although it is a heartbreaking story, I love this book because of how beautifully it is written. If you’re ever thinking of picking up a book, I hope you give this one a try!

   In class, I spoke to Jael. I asked her, “If you were to write a book, what would it be about?” She responded by saying she would write about generational trauma, because it needs to be talked about more, which I wholeheartedly agree with. On a more lighthearted note, to answer the question “If you could get away with it, what crime would you commit and why?” we agreed on bank robbery.
