“I went to a very small public school, and upon entering NYU, I felt like I was really far behind everyone else. People had read books that I’d never heard of and I began to feel like I had slipped through the cracks somehow. I was just expected to know the stuff, or to work that much harder to catch up. It was quite an adjustment.”
