Remembering

My schooling followed the pattern of the Divine Comedy. Elementary school was Inferno, where I was trapped with the slow kids and my feelings. Prep school was Purgatorio, where I had to work but gained salvation from it. Swarthmore was Paradiso, but it turned into the Garden from which I was expelled by an angel with the flaming sword of graduation.
