S1E1: Mary and Kaylee

In this first episode of With Honors, sophs Mary and Kaylee sit down to reflect on the meaning of birthdays, not just as celebrations but as symbols of fresh starts and second chances. Mary shares why her birthday feels especially significant and how it ties into the lessons she’s learned this year. Kaylee opens up about her regret of staying quiet during Socratic seminars, while Mary wishes she had been more diligent in reading the assigned texts. Together, they explore what they would do differently, why those lessons matter, and how this class has shaped the way they see learning and themselves.This episode features inspiring piano music by BlackTrendMusic, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license.
