The College Perspective by Lindsey

A story is something that connects people, places, events, and cultures from all around the world. With stories, people can experience what they never have before, they can reach out to people they wouldn’t have met, and they experience the past.

Without stories, life continues in a bubble. People continue to go to work, talk to their neighbors, take care of their families, but there’s something missing: the ability to grow as people and connect through storytelling. Every civilization throughout history had its own form and purpose behind storytelling, but in the end, it brings people together.

It gives writers a creative outlet. It gives photographers and artists to show the human perspective. It allows us to be human.

In a time when nonfiction storytelling can be considered propaganda or fake news, it is important that we remember the power and importance of good storytelling.
