The money --> education issue directly affected my life
   direction. However, I don't feel stilted by it, although it was
   very disappointing to find out I had to leave college because of
   money. Tried going back to community a few times through the
   years later but it's not the same as being immersed in a
   stay-on-campus situation between the ages of 18-26. Summer camp
   for learning that lasts all year long. But I got 1.5 yr taste of
   it. Lots of fun and learned a lot while I was there.
