| I started to respond with just, "Yes", but I guess there are no guarantees in life. But I think, in all honesty, that you would be fine.
My partner is just like you described, and he hated high school because of it. When he graduated, he didn't go to college, because he thought college would be more of high school -- jockish popular kids being mean and making fun of him for being introverted and geeky. Sometimes my son and I talk about how it's a shame that my partner didn't know about places like Reed. One of the first students I met during the prospie phase described herself like you in high school, but said that like many Reedies, once she was in college, she was able to find a place where she was comfortable and respected, and she's now considered one of the more social people.
If you feel hurt or wary because of that high school crap, then what I can tell you is that Reed isn't like high school. You can be introverted and kind of wierd, and there will be people who like your wierdness. |
