Finding Beauty in the Mundane

By Mia Bird ‘24, UGM Fellow

Since arriving in Indonesia, I have spent the last 6 months harnessing the mindset of taking life moment by moment. This has meant being present and finding joy in the small details of each day. I don’t intend to sound as though I am some all-knowing sage, but I cannot share my Shansi story without discussing the new perspective I have gained during my first quarter of the fellowship.
