    Harvard changed my life.
    Before Harvard, I had a constant feeling that I wasn't enough. I grew up below the poverty line, and my father dropped out of school after the 7th grade.
    I was always ashmed of my youth keeping it a secret from everyone, and one day walking from Kirkland to the yard it hit me like a bolt of l ightning that I had made it.
    I knew deep down that I never needed to be ashamed of my story again. It was one of overcoming obstacles rather than being from a rural coalmining community that had been written off.
    From that day on, I have had a quiet confidence. I don't need to be the best. I don't need to be rich. I don't need to prove myself. I just want to be thankful for the life I have and be kind to others who are still struggling to find their own peace.

      @@yesreneau Oh dear, I'm so sorry about that! However, I know you're a tough person and you'll overcome this challenge with flying colors. It seems like someone wished you "break a leg" a bit too much, but for now, it's better to build your luck in another way. Take care and get well soon! Ciao bella, you're special!

    Indeed breaking free of monetary shackles and perspective is important.
    Dealing with mortality even after lofty accomplishments is an emotional feat I've had to juggle.

    I don’t know if this is the proper comparison, but this is like Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. Only it’s not school anymore, it’s life pretty much. However just like I got excited when I was able to watch an episode of Ned, it is nice to get a new video occasionally, but this is better cause you get to see real-life experiences and self-reflections of a smart, attractive woman *wink, wink* HAHAH. I've been following you since I was like 15, and it’s funny cause as I grow, I get to understand some of the topics in your old videos, and as time passes, I get another nice video on some topics like depression, relationships, friends, college from someone who has experienced similar struggles. It’s a pleasure to watch your content. Keep posting.

    In the land of ivy walls, a crimson tale is told,
    Of scholars wrapped in laurels, of futures paved in gold.
    But I, a simple wanderer, with no degree to claim,
    Found my path to fortune, with naught but wit to blame.
    Six figures strong, my earnings soar, a testament to skill,
    No hallowed halls or parchment proved the force of my strong will.
    For knowledge gained through life itself, a wealth that none can measure,
    And in the end, it's wisdom's worth that brings me endless pleasure.
    Harvard's prestige may hold allure, a beacon bright and fair,
    But in the shadows of their light, I thrived without a care.
    My mind, unbound by ivory towers, was free to roam and grow,
    In the end, the world my classroom, my intellect did show.
    So scoff they might at my success, but I shall hold my head high,
    For I've outwitted destiny, my brilliance hard to deny.
    My fortune earned, not granted by a name that breeds esteem,
    I am the proof that life's true worth is more than just a dream

    Love your videos
    But why don’t you make a video whether an Ivy League degree genuinely helps candidates get jobs ( excluding pretentious IB and consulting jobs )or act as a safety net if you wanna pursue your passions in life ?
    Every Ivy League grad has a different opinion but you had the guts to pursue something offbeat so you would have a better opinion on this
    Thanks !

    Tim pool (that youtube guy) says....... not really.... it depends on what "hormones" means in the SCHEME of things. To begin AGAIN.... means go back to thy "mother's womb" and consider..... Psalms and proverbs.... realms.... womb topics.... that re-write and re-wire themselves? Ummmm.... Hair-it-stage? (ultrasounds to this day do not reveal.... "hair color" no matter the ancestry results.... THOSE family photos among the family photos..... that exist) Harvard began with? Biblical themes..... ends with folly staring at thy family tree. **Hint: no person BORN (in a certain "matrix order".... as a first born vs... the other that is a brother of biological senses and sensibility) ..... would state.... my mother died at the FIRST PREGNANCY..... and was in the SAME WOMB of the WOMB-an of BIRTH..... and/or my BIOLOGICAL father.... died.... in WOMB of HIS MOTHER.... .... what would they state: I have a biological sibling..... older and/or I am the first born.... even among "twins +" ... who was ACTUALLY... the first?
    Calculate BACKWARDS.... even further along in the ancestry? GRANDMA? was SHE a firstborn or not?
    The dumbest article I ever read among the MANY MANY stories.... on this earth: ***OB departments have shut down..... FOREVER..... because ----> Roe vs. Wade overturned?*** UMM what.... does that mean? STD rates increase among women? Stinging giant called tube ties increase? Homebirth increase? water quality went to the dumb-p as in MAN didn't care about the HAIR and FEATHERS on his fellow feathered and HORSE MANE friends....that flop?
    Get the point? sometimes Yes, it seems that "IVY LEAGUE" helps with things... but it doesn't actually help with "that divorce" from the Garden of Eden.... my friends.... among friends.
