Great Regulars: We searched on the words "young,"

"beautiful," "student" and "teacher" and found the work of the teacher Will Okun, who "won a trip" to accompany the columnist Nicholas Kristof to central Africa in 2007. In this piece, he focuses on his students back in Chicago, and we thought it made a lovely match with Marilyn Taylor's "Subject to Change".
