Welcome to “That’s Life,” the podcast that gives Santa Monica College (SMC) students and faculty a chance to get their voices and stories heard. Each week, Corsair staff writers Megan McNaughton and Jackie Sedley ask a different student or faculty member to share their stories of facing adversity. Everyone experiences struggles in their lives, but here at “That’s Life” we believe that battling, and potentially overcoming, the hardships we face makes us stronger and more unique as individuals.
