I loved it, printed it out and it is going to be a piece that I look to for inspiration from time to time. I am similar to the college student, only I've been discouraged from expressing individuality - something that I'm only exploring as a senior in High School. I'm not naturally out there and don't intend to be someone I'm not, but it is comforting to see that some people have the sense to encourage creativity today rather than hit down and simply say "No, that's too different". I've gone to uniform-or-else school in my middle school years, yet no one understood my arguments in a school debate in high school over why uniforms do not encourage academic success - rather they only hamper those ahead by killing their creative thinking. The only argument they had was "everyone in the workplace..." and parents ate it up; why shouldn't they, when they taught their kids to think exactly like them? No individuality. Thank you for this amazing piece. I just want to say, this is an amazing piece. I loved it, printed it out and it is going to be a piece that I look to for inspiration from time to time.
