Hey lovely folks,

I've been bummed to read about so much despondency at GT.

I want to rally my fellow alumni to give their version of "it gets better."

I wrote a comment responding to a depression related post, but I deleated it. I could write a novel about my process, instead I am asking for alumni success stories.

Current GT folks: I won't insult you saying that "it gets better" pretending that it stays better, it changes, often for the better. Your frustrations and problems change.

We are all tough and competent. Intelligence is an after thought. I hope your definition of "success" for yourself expands as other alums reply.

Alumni - please share your stories to the community to give perspective.

GT is a resilency test.
