I left the east coast and everything it stands for. I’m living in a place where no one ever asks what college I went to, never mind my SAT scores. I didn’t consciously want to reinvent myself, but I liked the opportunity to start over, sans the burden of the preconceptions of those I went to school with. I haven’t struck it rich and famous. And now I’m wavering, the economic chaos impacting my ability to have hope. But when I’m driving in my car and the right record comes pouring out of the speakers, I feel confident, I believe I can make it.
