Below is a reflection from Gracie Sharp on her time at SEEK 2015. Gracie is a Freshmen studying microbiology and psychology at Colorado State University. Some people are posting about SEEK2015, and other brave souls shared their stories on the bus back from Nashville. Regrettably, though I was not one of these souls, I still […]
