The college I chose did do wonders for my self confidence and was a nurturing place to grow into an adult and fostered pride I never had before in being Black. I know that was invaluable in shaping who I am today but I still always wonder ....what if.
Often, when things go well with a important decision, we wonder if we could have done better, aimed higher. Self-confidence is the best gift a college education can give you.

You made an excellent choice. Pat yourself on the back.
