.@FresnoStateCAH graduate Mialise Carney was homeschooled as a child and by 16, she hadn’t opened a textbook in years. However, a Fresno State alumna mentored her and inspired her to continue her education. She’s now a successful writer and editor, mentoring the next generation.

I sit and meditate—my dog licks her paws
on the red-brown sofa
so many things somehow
it all is reduced to numbers letters figures
without faces or names only jagged lines
