In high school, I didn't know there were such things as "top colleges". I knew Harvard and Yale existed and were good...but beyond that I honestly didn't even know MIT existed. It's probably because my family has been in America for only about 60 years now and my generation is the first to go to college (honestly just guessing here..)

So I applied to college and went to a pretty big state school (for my area).

I'm really blessed to end up where I've ended up after graduation. I know so many really really good classmates who have a lot of talent and never even get a glance when looking for jobs at some of these companies. It really just isn't fair sometimes...
