👋🏼 What are your favorite first-person essays?

I'm compiling a reading list for students of different generations + professional backgrounds. Essays must be written in the first-person (and ideally include some reporting). What's on your must-read list?

9/11 From host @emilykwong1234: Devouring noodles and Rouga Mo w/ @ruthetam for this episode was BY FAR my favorite field reporting trip this year. I loved our conversation and the sounds gathered by producer @thomasylu.
