Don't let college rankings dictate your selfworth from "summary" of Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be by Frank Bruni

The idea that where you go to college determines your worth is a deeply ingrained belief in our society. We are constantly bombarded with college rankings, which seem to suggest that your value as a person is directly tied to the prestige of the institution you attend. But this belief is not only false, it is harmful. It can lead to anxiety, stress, and a sense of inadequacy in students who feel that they must attend a top-ranked school in order to be considered successful. In reality, college rankings are just one small piece of the puzzle when it comes to determining your future success. Many successful people have attended schools that are not at the top of the rankings, and many students who attend highly ranked schools do not end up achieving their full potential. What truly matters is what you do with the opportunities you are given, not the name of the school on your diploma. It is important to remember that college is just one chapter in your life story, not the defining factor of who you are as a person. Your worth is not determined by the number on a ranking list or the name on a diploma. What truly matters is your character, your values, and the impact you have on the world around you. So don't let college rankings dictate your self-worth. Instead, focus on developing yourself as a person, pursuing your passions, and making a positive difference in the world. Because at the end of the day, that is what truly matters.
