Sullivan was a Community College. This wasnt some Longstanding Institution of higher learning. All these station wagons are dropping kids off. I was nervous. I just got to the school. I didnt know anybody. I was a freshman. I was never the captain of the Football Team in high school. So i was never really like popular.
