Jillian Mark is a senior at Emmanuel College in Boston, MA. She expects to graduate in May of 2020 with a degree in English: Writing, Editing, and Publishing. She has spent most of her life dabbling in short fiction and poetry, but this is her first attempt at a non-fiction piece. Writing has allowed Jillian to navigate a life with mental illness and most certainly, she would not be here without it. Following graduation, Jillian will be attending law school in the fall of 2020 to pursue a career in peacemaking.
