I think that when the elders realized that I wouldn't be going, it was basically the equivalent of becoming an LC outcast. It really was a weird feeling, at one point being part of the demographic that is considered to be the "prime" of the LC, and then going to be someone that they really could care less about. It was an eye-opener for sure.

This is the same thing I felt. It was ALL about the college students and so while still being one I didn't feel a part of it and began to question many things about myself. Now I can say I feel much better about myself and that the FTTA is not a big aspiration in my life.
