[quote=Anonymous]The article felt listless with no point. I am a graduate of this scene (another TT) from around this time. Unlike some of the profiles folks I came from lower income and was on full scholarship. Going to one of these schools was a transformative time that I feel remarkably lucky to have experienced. It sounds like part of this also comes down to parental upbringing. I was fortunate in that my parents never pressured me even if the school was know to be one of the more rigorous ones. I credit this right amount of rigor and pressure as a mix that left me with a clear sense of how to work hard. My career did not take off until my 30s as I didn’t go into a traditional path - but the”finishing school” aspect left me with skills and gifts I leverage in my professional life to this day. I know he tried to survey his class broadly but the article just didn’t seem to make a point. [/quote]
