So I have been asked, “Why am I’m doing this?”
I have 3 assumptions that I want to confirm:
1) It’s as hard as it always was. I hate to be flip, but is it really that much harder? Marlborough was hard when we were there. In fact, college was a breeze as a result. Could it really be as hard as everyone says it is? I want to know.
2) Some things about high school never change. Are 7th- to 12th-graders really so different than we were? OK, it’s definitely a whole new world, and standards have changed in many ways, but I suspect many things about being a Marlborough girl has stayed the same, despite the shocking differences in technology. Am I wrong?
3) Marlborough School is cool. I might not have known that when I was there. After all, it was high school, and that’s not always such a carefree time; but I know it now: now that I see how tricky it is to navigate adulthood, and parenting, and even LA traffic! I must say, Marlborough prepared me for all these things, and I wonder if it does the same today. I suspect it does, but who really knows?
So there you have it.
