I love what your friend had to say. As someone who grew up very sheltered and brainwashed over and over again that America was the best and my school system was the best, etc., it's very true. The expectation of relative security crumbling away (especially in regards to education/college) did haunt me for a bit, but I've now accepted it and decided I'm going to go after my dreams even if they're risky, because what do I have to lose?
It was a good read! Quite relatable too. Here in India, all of us most of the time don't trust the system and try to live off of whatever we can get. We do crib at times (just for venting ;)) But always come back to making the best of what we have. I relate to your friend!
