Spending the day at William & Mary

I have spent my entire collegiate life in the community college system, but I am now on the verge of making the jump to a real school. This is scary business. I'm trying not to be intimidated by 18-year-old over-achievers. I realize that I've got some very different things to offer whatever school I attend, and I have to have confidence that schools recognize that fact. I can promise any school that after spending a year as a wastewater treatment plant operator, I have nothing but pure motivation to succeed. As a matter of fact, I recommend making kids who are unsure of their future track to spend a year working in the wastewater treatment field. It probably would not take a year to give them the kick in the butt they need to find a direction. School is better than poo. I remember being a little kid thinking how old and mature college students seemed. Make no mistake, they are children. It might actually be better to spend a year or ten pursuing something utterly unattainable to make most people realize how lucky they are to have school as an option. Some folks are born smart. ...not me.
