Document Summary
Currently, i am a freshman in the college of arts and. I plan on pursuing a major in film studies and a minor in hispanic studies. I am writing to you about the lowell humanity series. Heather nathans" seeing ourselves through others" eyes lhs presentation. Personally, history has never been my strongest subject, but nathans made the seemingly dry nineteenth century topic interesting for me, not only through her passion for the subject, but also through her presentation"s organization. I think another valuable speaker who could possibly be featured in the lowell humanities series is erik weihenmayer, the first blind man to climb mount. Weihenmayer lost his vision at the age of thirteen. At first, he refused to use a cane or even learn to read braille, hoping to prove that he could continue to live as he had before. Soon after, however, he realized that he was incapable of doing so.
