My niece wrote a blistering open letter to all the high school teacher and councilors who told her she would never succeed in college because “people like her” just couldn’t cut it. She graduated cum laude with a degree in social work and a promise to help kids “like her” who have been fed that line thoughout their lives. It was moving and inspiring, to the point that my wife made my youngest read it again every time he gripes about how “it’s just too hard.”
