The worst and best thing about growing up in a small town is the same thing - nobody forgets who you were, which means you spend your 20s trying to escape the version of yourself that 600 people cemented when you were 14, and your 40s realizing that version might have been the most honest one - Silicon Canals

When you grow up in a place where everyone's known you since you were in nappies, you carry around hundreds of versions of yourself. Each person you meet has frozen you at a particular moment - the time you threw up at the school dance, your awkward phase when your voice was breaking, that summer you tried to reinvent yourself and failed spectacularly.

Increased Sense of Belonging Boosts Student Graduation Rates

The survey measured belonging by asking students to rate their agreement with the statement "I feel that I am a part of [school]" on a five-point scale, where 1 means strongly disagree and 5 means strongly agree. Students who rated their sense of belonging in their second year one step higher on the five-point scale than they did in their first year-such as moving from neutral to agree-were 3.4 percentage points more likely to graduate within four years.
