<p>I’m actually pretty happy that I wasn’t in the top 50% of my school. If I was in the top 5% and I told everybody that I wanted to go to Clemson or UNC-Asheville, people might have told me I was crazy and would be looked down upon for that. However, at other schools, many valedictorians go to Clemson or UNC-Asheville, that’s the problem with going to a top high school.</p>
