A couple of months ago my housemates and I were having a house dinner with our house supervisor. Sitting around our tiny dining table, all the six of us, including the supervisor, went around the table introducing ourselves. It was an exhilarating moment to talk about the kind of foods that my housemates treasured and enjoyed. I remember how my Brazilian housemate talked charismatically about farofa, a quintessential Brazilian side dish made from cassava flour. When it was my turn, all I could think of was Pilau, a traditional Kenyan festive rice dish made with a blend of various spices and customizable to several flavors. However, the harmonious exchange took an unexpected turn when the supervisor, caught in the web of Western stereotypes, cast a skeptical eye my way. The trigger? My mixed heritage, predominantly Maasai.

For better or for worse, grades are at the center of higher education. Middlebury’s selective admissions process demands that applicants show rigorous academic achievements on high school transcripts; Latin and departmental honors at college graduation have GPA thresholds; graduate institutions look upon student grades as an indicator of skill level; and employers, especially within the fields of consulting and finance, might only seek to interview students with the highest GPAs.

Crossing a bridge over the Chesapeake Bay on our nine hour drive from Middlebury down to Washington, D.C., our car of five turned and spotted the distinct newspaper-pattern of a keffiyeh whipping out of a neighboring car’s open window. They had most likely seen our own keffiyehs as they passed by. Instantly, a connection was made between strangers all intending to confront our nation’s leaders over continuing to fund Israel’s genocide with our tax dollars. It was January 13th and the weekend of 100 days of war in Gaza, an anniversary marked by international protests taking place in D.C., London, Rome, Paris, Dublin, Johannesburg, South Africa, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We, three Middlebury first years, could not miss this momentous event despite the 500 mile distance from rural Vermont to the shining capital of the American empire.
