Great post, Reid. I love your honesty and I enjoyed listening to your audio recording. Your acting skills are definitely a huge asset!
I suspect that it was good for those women to hear a story which was different to their own. It's easy for people to surround themselves with 'the same' but life isn't like that and variety and uniqueness is what the makes the world an interesting place. Well done for being honest with them, and the chances are they didn't judge you in the way you thought but actually were just surprised that other pathways exist. You've broadened their minds.
Aw Hannah! Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. Leaning into honestly and vulnerability has been medicine for my soul. I appreciate you reading and your perspective!
Great post, Reid, and well done for being so open and honest. I didn't go to university and have the same hang-up as you do. You've expressed your feelings beautifully. x
Thanks for sharing your story, Reid! Keep remembering your value and embracing your journey – it's a testament to how our individual paths can lead us to amazing places. Ps, I enjoy your writing <3
I like this post a lot and I really enjoy reading what you've written. I did go to college (with your mom😊) but if I'm being honest, I didn't go for the right reasons. And, even though I was pretty good at school, only one of my 4 children has gotten a four year degree. And you know what, all four of them are supporting themselves and thriving in their chosen lines of work. So I'm with MC--you do you! 😊

Thank you so much for reading Nat! It is refreshing to know I'm not alone in feeling this way.
Poignantly written . Wonderfully executed & College shouldn’t be a prerequisite for common human decency .
Thank you for reading Russ!
