—Anonymous, class of 2012, New York —Anonymous, California “Those experiences where I went to get help and was basically told that the people hurting me were more important than I was derailed me to where I am today. Now, whatever client I have, whatever they did, I treat them with the same respect that I would give anybody. Not that I condone the bad things they are accused of, but because I know what it is like to be in a bad situation and the only available help treats you as a lesser human.” —Anonymous, class of 2000, Illinois —sofyc “Throughout my PhD, I haven’t been very social, but I have been more involved in local activism, which gets me out of the house and helps empower me and those around me. I also taught at my uni for several years, which helped me build more confidence.” —Padawan Ryan —Anonymous, class of 2001, Illinois
