Forever wishing I was old money :/

Not to be too sappy or whatever, but Dominic Sessa's success is so very encouraging/inspiring to me. As a prep school kid, I can confidently say that you are taught to go into the business or STEM. This isn't to say the humanities and arts aren't well taught, but that the people you're introduced to through networking and the colleges spoken about the most are not made to steer you in the direction of arts or humanities. Even if faculty don't think that way, an old prep school is an old prep school and those early goals will always be there, it is a status quo that is hard to challenge. I digress, I want to go into film. I love it more than just about anything and I got so lucky with the college I'll be going to, the people I've met, and the friends who will entertain my rambles on film. I'm also - like Sessa - a financial aid kid (or financial aid baddie if we're wanting to lighten the tone), making job opportunities all the more daunting. There is less to fall back on than if I was an arts kid with an incredibly wealthy family. I was once asked by a friend why I was on financial aid - most students do not comprehend life without oodles of money. It is so hopeful for me to see someone with a similar background being successful in the arts. I'm so thrilled with the film community's quick acceptance of Sessa and I think it shows great things for the future of filmmaking. There is power in young artists and money should not be the reason for success - like with many nepo babies.

OG Cobras - Prep School AU (2/4)

I read the A Deadly Education a few years ago for the first time and my first reaction was “wow this is exactly what going to a fancy prep school was like.” H*rry P*tter had seemed fantastical to me as a child not really because of the magic, but because the idea that you could go to an elite institution and not obsess over who you were going to sit with at lunch was a revelation.

Whereas the Scholomance series is very carefully, exquisitely constructed and calibrated to impart the feeling of being in a rigidly hierarchical, cut throat institution you *should* feel grateful for attending, as you figure out every day how to survive and graduate.

my school had a much closer to 100% graduation rate (although not everyone made it out alive!), but the feeling was the same of running the numbers, scrabbling at the bottom and trying to figure out how much you can bend to the toxic, wealthy, voracious donor families, whose wealth is built on bodies they murdered to get there
