Having faced this, having conquered it (though arguably, I was always meant for college... the train just got derailed...), I don't find it sad, but to be one of the most honest pieces I've read in ages.
At the same time I know I can be proud to have made it through all that, I can't help but thinnk about the Ms. Ls I met, the guys with overstuffed briefcases looking for better pay or a new line of work, the peoplel looking just to grow and learn something new for what seemed like no particular reason at all. And you know, not all of them were as bad as a "Ms. L" though arguably it is probably the most tried and true of college stereotypes. Bless them all.
