We're all people, he said simply. It doesn't matter if you're two, thirty-two, or ninety-two. Everyone wants to be treated with respect. Everyone wants to feel like they matter in this world.

Most of my friends from Columbia are going on to get advanced degrees. And why not? A Ph.D. is the new M.A., a master's is the new bachelor's, a B.A. is the new high school diploma, and a high school diploma is the new smiley-face sticker on your first-grade spelling test.

I believe that what we get out of life is what we've set ourselves up to get, so there's no such thing as an inconsequential decision.

Don't let anyone else's noise drown it out.
