My name is Polly Chappell, and I am a graduate student at SCSU. This is my first semester in English. I am married to Paul Chappell and we have three children: Teddy (27), Samuel (24), and Molly (12). I work for the Faculty Association at SCSU. Before the pandemic, my passion was traveling with my family throughout Europe and the United States. Since then I have taken up painting, caring for house plants, and spending time with my daughter.

Kseniia. Intro
My name is Kseniia, and I am a graduate student at St. Cloud State University. My passion for writing and sharing my stories led me to the program of Rhetoric and Writing, and here I am – a hopeless dreamer and aspiring storyteller. I am obsessed with fancy notebooks, planners, colorful crayons, and other stationeries that help me to turn writing and note-taking into a creative process. I also can’t imagine my life without trinkets, music, and hot green tea.
I am taking part in the “Dear Daughter” project because I believe that sometimes stories can change the world, especially if these stories are about something people don’t often discuss.
Introductions
Hello my name is Zaya Moreno. I am a writer/college student living in central Minnesota. I have a cactus named Inter, a succulent named Leafy, and a significant other, Roman who eats all the snacks in the house because, we are home all the time now. Coffee is my best friend and only friend because of the pandemic. I now spend more time in my office doing schoolwork without any social interaction besides Roman from the outside. Sometime I do not see him at all even though we are only nine feet away from each other. I am currently not okay at all. My sleep has suffered as well as my mental capacity, but the yearn to call things out during this unpresidential time is still there even if my left eye gets lazy. I am 82% here, I think.
