If people knew the kind of geeks I knew in college, this article would've never been written.

I was, and am, a geek. I don't know how good of an adult I am as a worldly success, but I like to think that I'm a decent enough person.

So to be a “weirdo” in high school — to risk, or not care about, alienation simply because you think differently — shows a great strength of character. And that is much more valuable in the real world than whether you follow the status quo.


If you have no choice then character has nothing to do with it. :?
