Growing up in Jersey, I quickly learned the hardships of life. I feel that the experience made me tougher, hungrier, and all the more ready for Carolina (read: Heaven on Earth).
A longstanding fan of public institutions for education, I often neglect the charm and individuality of private colleges. Teaching for the Princeton Review brought me to Queens University, particularly to an auditorium at their business school. I must say, this place is absolutely beautiful. Tucked away in the Myers Park area of Charlotte, it serves the community there well. I will never have the money for / can never justify paying private school tuition, but it was nonetheless a cool experience. Cheers for Queens!
