I spent almost half my life here as botha student and a teacher. It was home to me for a long while, but it was also like a sick, co-dependent relationship that made me doubt my talents and abilities. After I left, I discovered that the education I got there was more than adequate to get me the kind of success I was looking for in the real world. Oddly, though, some of the people there treated me so badly that I can’t bring myself to cough up even one thin dime of alumni support.
