CHG,
I understand completely your thoughts. I was proud when I finished by undergraduate degree and was hoping as many JWs knew about it as possible. I had the same feeling when I got my Master's degree and when I complete my PhD, I'm gonna be like Snare and crow to the whole damn world!!!! I may even go back to the KH and make an announcement!!! Spread your wings and fly, baby girl.
Well done, you are an inspiration. I am struggling after leaving and you give me hope. Kate xx
I'm so happy for you Coffee House Girl!!! Living your dream is awesome.
All my best to you and Coffee House Guy.

I am curious about one aspect. Do you have a faculty mentor who suggested playing the two schools off each other? It is the type of thing that I could not conceive of doing in high school. I was so deferential. Rules were rules. I took the WTS with me for a long time. Students with powerful fathers mentioned trying such tactics. The Ivy League has a small amount of arrogance. I repeatedly saw how they prospered more than I did. It was only when I was immersed that I started to try such strategems. In the beginning, I was ready to vomit from the stress. It was only when it was obvious I had to report back to friends and faculty that I pushed ahead.
If your college taught you these skills, you were blessed with college. The scholarships and program are impressive but knowing to give it a try, that good things happen on earth, may be a larger life lesson.
I meander from feeling grown up to feeling as though I am still in the Witnesses.
This is the kind of experience that gives me the impetus to keep away from the soul dragging life of a robotic drone JW.
A hearty congratulations and the best for your bright future!
