Nice article and essay. Thank you for sharing. I particularly liked the sentence where he said,

"And while it’s nice to tell family, friends and strangers you meet in public that you go to Harvard, all that ‘prestige’ fades as soon as you step foot on campus.”

Most hs seniors don’t realize that. The name of the school does not guarantee a great experience or happiness. Each student individually has to determine what factors are important to him/her. Good for this young man for doing what he felt was right and staying true to himself.
