stayed around as a dropin for another 18 months or so before I really why did I drop out?It started before I was biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy。do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high refused to sign the final adoption only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to 17 years later I did go to I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my workingclass parents39。 savings were

designed it all into the was the first puter with beautiful I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal puter would have I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal puters might not have the
