Ebenezer

June 25, 2022 | Anna Delamerced, MD

In pediatrics, there’s a thing called milestones. We love talking to families and children about them. Drawing a square. Tying shoe laces. Learning how to ride a bike. They’re markers of growth in a child’s development. At every annual physical exam, we check in on how they’re doing in school, what fruits and vegetables they like, how much exercise they’re getting. We love to learn about their interests, like art or music. We measure their height and weight. We show them how much they’ve grown.

Room To Grow

March 24, 2022 | By Emma Kate Price H‘25

“Wow, I didn’t know palm trees were that small!” Approaching the palm tree soaking up sun from atop the bedside table, my best friend marveled at the fact that it was approximately a foot and a half tall.

The Gardener and the Grower

March 16, 2021 | By Gabbi Zegers ‘21

“What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth… For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 

1 Corinthians 3:5-6,11

Learning to Dance

March 11, 2017 | By Constance Thurmond ’19

As a dancer, I am constantly aware of how I look. Every movement, muscle, breath, and articulation consists of a fine balance between precise anatomical awareness and artistry. As challenging as this is, I take pleasure in attempting to find the equidistant point that lies between these two facets of dance.

For thousands of years, choreographers, influenced by their cultures and contexts, have had different ideas of where this equidistant point lies. Some believe dancers should be muscular and powerful, while others lean towards graceful and elegant. Some think that dance should tell a story, yet others, believe that there is no story to be told. In this area, I am not an expert, as it is my job to serve as the paint that is guided by their brush. As paint, I seek to master each variance and discrepancy present within a respective choreographer's work, and then perform this yin and yang of style to those who are willing and able to engage with it.

Church on the Couch

EVELYN ROBERTSON TC '15

The 'snowpocalypse' brought on by winter storm Nemo this weekend left churches in New Haven unable to hold services on Sunday morning. I've been attending City Church, a church plant barely 18 months old, since the start of the academic year. They meet in the auditorium of the Co-op High School on College Street and, on special occasions (like Christmas), in Toad's Place.
