When @iamwesmoore said “I’m not in the room because someone sprinkled diversity; I’m in the room because the room is incomplete without me” I got shivers.

2- parents of high school students should talk to fewer parents of high school students about college admission…because they lie/exaggerate/fuel anxiety.
