I suppose it’s sort of ironic that even though I work at a college, I never actually attended one. The reasons are many and the story long, so I’ll just summarize and say that we were not cut out for one another. Which is maybe a shame. Maybe my road would have had a few less potholes.
Then again, maybe not. I know my fair share of people who have had the advantage of a college education. On the whole they have better jobs and enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle than I do, which is good for them.
But I’ve also noticed that no matter how much education a person has, problems still abound. No one’s smart enough to outsmart life. And no matter how much studying we still won’t be prepared for everything.
That’s what Emily taught me.
