> Truman students are high-achieving in high school, and they get to college and they can no longer compete with everyone here, and they get depressed.
This is life, at some point it is thrust into your face that there are always other people who do what you do, and do it better.
Participation in competitive sports can be a good way to learn to deal with this at an earlier age. Every level, from youth to junior high to JV to Varsity to college/minor and ultimately pro has a talent filter. You can be good on your middle school team and then in high school find that you don't make the Varsity cut.
Absolutely horrible writing. F in grammar, spelling, style, etc. Hard to read not because of the subject material but because of the bad writing! Is this what "writers" consider good now?
