When I return to my sit spot, I take a moment to close my eyes and breathe. I notice how familiar it feels now. The sounds, the air, and the pace of people moving nearby are recognizable in a way they weren’t at the beginning of the semester. I hear footsteps passing, quiet conversations, and the wind moving through the trees. The space feels steady. Sitting there, I realize how often this spot has held me without asking anything in return.

As this is my final official visit, I feel a sense of gratitude. My sit spot has been a place to slow down, observe, and reset during a busy semester. It has offered consistency when everything else felt fast or transitional. I thank it for being a space of stillness, reflection, and grounding throughout the spring semester.

As the semester comes to an end, I reflect on the perspectives I’ve gained over the past few weeks. Being in this environment has deepened my awareness of how space, infrastructure, and community are intentionally shaped. I’ve come to see sustainability not just as an environmental issue, but as something connected to care, access, and long-term responsibility.

Moving forward, I will carry this awareness by continuing to think critically about how systems are designed and who they serve. Being an agent of change means paying attention, asking better questions, and using the platforms and opportunities available to me to support thoughtful and equitable practices.

For my final project, I used Spelman’s campus as a visual canvas to connect its founding women to the present. I combined archival images with the pillar monument, campus buildings, and my sit spot green space to highlight Spelman’s core values of history, reflection, and service. The project reflects the fellowship’s purpose by showing how Spelman’s mission continues to live through its environment and everyday spaces.
