James's Story
College
I attended both RPI and BCC. Unfortunately I never completed a degree at either. Structured education was never really my strength. I continue to over compensate for not having completed school and probably have a complex about it. While, I have done exceptionally well keeping myself educated, I still would like to complete a degree and perhaps even attempt to go to law school at some point in time.
