They were fun ones, with magic and adventure. As I grew older, I began to be more interested in people and their stories. I remember this one time I ended up talking to a lady in the airport when I was 11. I don't remember what we talked about, exactly, but the feeling of connecting and learning about another person was exhilarating. Part of it was probably because I was 11 and talking to a total stranger, but getting to know someone else and having good conversation felt good!\r\n\r\nFast forward 10 years and here I am, at the biggest university in Canada. With more than 40,000 undergraduates alone, I don't think it's an\u00a0exaggeration\u00a0to say that you probably walk past a hundred people a day. Yet I don't even know the stories of even 1% of that number. If it because of the \"otherness<\/a>\" Sarah talked about?\r\n\r\nEveryone has a story. I want to know yours.\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\nStarting today until the end of August, you will get an opportunity to share your story. U of T Stories<\/a>\u00a0is a project where anyone and everyone who has ever been to or been inspired by U of T can share their story. This includes students, alum, faculty, staff... Really, anyone who has ever had anything to say about U of T.\r\n\r\nWhat kind of submissions am I looking for?\r\n
