Iraq vet. broken heart. laid off. honors student. drinking. slacker. religious. first generation. Native. dyslexic. never read a single book. high school dropout.

I can deduce but this: The virgin is not a single mom, but s/he may be a drinker. At least I hope so.

Working at a small college, I feel as though I know too much about my students, whereas at a larger research universtiy I knew too little. I wonder what the happy medium is?
