The Search for Meaning

“I’ll go to college, although I think now the best thing for me would be to take a year out and work somewhere. I’ve never really worked--at something real, something that would make the slightest difference to somebody…. Okay, so I’ve done well, although I think anybody could do well at this place if they were half-way verbal. All the classes are small, and we don’t have that many exams, so all you have to do, like we always kid each other, is talk good. …So with all the studying and talking good, you know what I’d really like to do? Carpentry. I’d like to build a house, or fix someone’s stairs or porch. Something real.” ~ from David Elkin’s The Hurried Child
