A Different World

After coming back to Penn with a open mind and an open heart for this LEAD program I have realized that not only was my hypothesis right, but it was across the board accurate.
You see I have believe for sometime now that Penn people are a whole different breeed of people then anyone else in the world. ( the black community at least). These people thrive on materialistic values and are all around fake/false/phony. They guys here all act the same. They think they are cool because they are in a Frat or because they " get girls" ( that are butt ugly I might add). I really cant understand the mentallity of these kids, but by the time i graduate I will.
I can tell you that there are no other people like penn people( good thing) because I have two jobs this summer one in D.C. at FSA and the other at Penn doing LEAD and I have met new people both places. It was more then obvious that the majority of the people at my JOB in D.C. were Much much much much nicer and more receptive then people at Penn, they also were a lot smarter and well rounded. The people at Penn are mostly followers...if one guy demeans a girl to get a laugh they all will. IF one guy wears skin tight jeans, they all will. It's ridiculous.
It's even more ridiculous that I let it bother me so much. I need to just ignore their stupid comments and just focus on the task at hand and the goals that need to be accomplished. I need to stop giving these people here my attention and my feelings and my sensitivity. I have given them enough. I like being at places where people dont only think of themselves ( anywhere but here). That is what has completely turned me off to idea of EVER EVER EVER wanting to be in wharton, because that is an " all about me and my money" place, and that's not me. I wish for clothes shoes and travel, not selling my soul for 6 figures just to say i made it. I am not into that whole thing and that is where me and the rest of these people differ. I don't need an American Dream, I just need My Dream of Health and Happiness.
In the end it comes down to, I ahve nothing in common with people here, but guess what i'm not leaving because I love the school as an institution and not as a social environment. I intend to squeeze everything out of this school because it has squeezed me of everything, pride, personaity, diginity, passion, and everyhting. But dont worry it will all come back in due time.
So as for now all i can say to the people here at Penn is if you dont like me do us both a favor and dont talk to me, it will be mutual. LOVE
