Assignment 19- Gaby Rondel

The piece of advice that was most profound was for me was delivered by mom a few months ago. Obviously, my life right now revolves around what seems like an endless college search and desire to get into the best school. I am sure many people, my mom included, have told me this many many times before, but I never really paid it much attention. My mom told me that it is not about the school you go to, but what you do with the education that the school provides you with. Now, a better school can and probably will have better professors, more connections, and more and better opportunities, but the curriculum (for the most part) stays the same. I am always stressing about what I can do to make sure I get into the best school that I can, and I will continue to stress no matter what. But now I am less worried that I will be missing out if I don't get accepted or don't attend. Because it doesn't necessarily matter the name of the school on my diploma, but where I hang that diploma is really what matters.
