With college admissions happening right now and many seniors paying their deposits as they commit to attend a particular school over another, this opinion piece highlights that it is important to not only think about the college you are committing to. The opinion states that colleges do not define who you are and the superficial need to go to a good college is overwhelming high school students that they cannot enjoy the present and it is changing who they truly are. In the end, college admissions results should not be the source of low or even high, self-esteem because no matter what, a person’s value will not change.
