[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 512395, member: 4015"] Speaking of insanely smart...there was this boy in our church who went to Tech and majored in computer science. He graduated magna cum laude and works for Microsoft now. Even so, he is one of the nicest, polite and humble young men you would ever want to meet. I think it is because he was in my Sunday School class for so long but I digress. Anyway, he told me that Tech was hard even though he was well prepared. He said that the thing most people going to Tech don't realize is how important work ethic and time management are to a student's success. He worked as a TA in mathematics and computer science and said that seldom did he see a student that simply could not do the work but he saw students that were not willing to make the sacrifices to be successful. He did say that he saw a good number of Asian students that struggled at Tech through no fault of their own due to language barriers. To give you an idea of the kind of person he is, he drove over 3 hours from Atlanta to attend my retirement party at the high school where I taught for 30 years. He did not have to do that but like I always say: Tech people have a very high degree of commitment and integrity. Speaking strictly as a sidewalk fan and definitely not an alumnus. [/QUOTE]
