I think I have poor eyesight as an adult because…

As a little kid, I would scoot my chair closer to the TV, enthralled by the ads. My dad and I made a game of dissecting commercials, exchanging commentary on their intentions and effects. 

Without fail, he’d hunker down beside me for our commercial time, encouraging all of my critiques. 

This shared skepticism ignited my passion for understanding culture and what resonates with people. I credit him with igniting my passion for crisp language and collaborative exploration.

I’m Molly, a rising senior at Syracuse University, studying Advertising and Anthropology.
