RETURN TO COLLEGE The Great Tug-Of-War I guess the hardest part of being an RTC is the tug-of-war one ' s life becomes — the school work on one end, the family on the other, and me stretched to the snapping point between the two. An RTC ' s intellect, eyelids, and bottom have dropped con- siderably and alarmingly since her former school days. Her spir- it, however, remains mysterious- ly young. I will never have to give my children a lecture on the value of an education. I will never make the mistake of pressuring my children about grades — not when I know they will insist on seeing mine! My first quarter here, I in- dulged in some sticky self-pity. I was going through a divorce and I felt no one could be suffering as I was. Then one day I saw a freshman coming apart with homesickness, and I realized that I wasn ' t the only one with a struggle. If I hear one more time, Oh but just think how valuable your years of experience in living will be in your studies; I will do something irrational S unlady- like.
