The Aletheia is pleased to present student feature Tayyaba Masood, a pre-med student majoring in biotechnology here at UH. This particular narrative reflects upon a dark and personal time for both her and her family. Through the power of words she shares this experience in hopes that it aids those who have underwent similar situations and to bring forth understanding to those that have not. Thank you Tayyaba for sharing your story.

“When we consider how to write, be it poetry or prose, we must ask ourselves what the motivation behind our writing is. This process extends beyond the realm of written language and into every creative endeavor. Two of the most conflicting motivations, in my experience, are whether we seek to create something totally unlike all that already exists or if we instead aim to emulate something or someone we consider to be awe-inspiring. The beauty of it all is that these two motivations are not, in fact, mutually exclusive." -Dan Scott, On the Writing Process

Now on our website along with his incredible short story, "The Lost Dauphin."
