We are courted with a marketing blitz from the institutions themselves, all promising dreams fulfilled, horizons waiting to be discovered, unencumbered bliss. The effect of all this is to raise the college years to a larger-than-life, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will make or break our children’s future. Both parents and students feel the pressure and push to make this myth their reality.
Letting Go
Karen Levin Coburn and Madge Lawrence Treeger
After years of hearing my father rant at my flaws, one loss has caused me to take up his rant. I’ve internalized my father—his impatience, his perfectionism, his rage—until his voice doesn’t just feel like my own, it is my own. I no longer need my father to torture me. From this day on, I can do it all by myself.
buy and sell 100,000 shares for me at the same price. I booked the sale of 100,000 shares out of the admiral’s account and booked the buy in the main fund, where investors have their money. The only trace of the trade left in the admiral’s account is the $8 million profit. This same scenario, albeit with different stocks and banks, happens with regularity at Galleon. We buy a stock in the morning and, depending on how it performs, decide in the afternoon which account it should go in. It’s never an issue with investors because the performance in the main fund is always good.
