Question: Every time you go back home to Texas, do you ever look at Austin differently?

Monson: “Yes, because every time I leave Austin I change, you know, even if that’s just a semester at Dickinson…I’m different and I can apply things differently once I see Austin. I’m constantly comparing and contrasting everything to home and to where I’ve been… but it’s still good, I still love Austin, I’m very proud to be from Texas.”
