My guidance counselor tried to keep me from applying to good schools.
I thought she was my friend. She said she understood me and that

junior college or secretarial school.
She hated me.
What action did you take?
I invited a senator who attended college here to speak at our school.
And what was the result?
I got a strong letter of recommendation
from a U.S. Senator, was accepted early decision
and they gave me lots of financial aid.
And what did you learn from this experience?

It was the first time I was betrayed by someone I trusted.
I looked up to her.
I didn't come close to understanding the depth to which she resented me.
I learned that people who help me, who invest in me become my partners
and my success is their success
that relationships are symbiotic.
I learned responsibility based on others' faith in me.
