For those of you who may remember my posts from last year about the closing of my college, Antioch College, here’s a very sad update from The New York Times.
This is the worst thing that could have happened. I have often told myself that one day I would publish books and I would give back to the school and contribute to the creative writing program and help make it a better place for those odd, questioning, independent, creative kids who don’t know where they fit in—the kind of kid I once was. But I wasn’t fast enough. My school will close before I can do anything.
The school meant—means—a lot to me. I would not be who I am today without it. I’m not ashamed to say that.
