    Strength in Weakness

    BY SARAH PROCTOR When spring break rolled around it came as a sigh of relief after the breakneck pace of life at Duke. I was going to the beach with some of my closest friends. I resolved not to bring anything that resembled schoolwork. I was going to actually get a decent amount of sleep. […]
