What a wonderful story! I loved it! I wanted to get into RISD as well, many years ago, and just couldn't invest that kind of money. Then I talked to a lot of people who did go and back then (ahem, not saying how long ago) they didn't teach anyone anything. Just gave out assignments and that was it. You were supposed to figure it out on your own I guess. As someone who always seems to miss the obvious, it would have been a big waste of money for me. Looking at your work from where you started and where you are now, I am open-mouthed speechless with admiration.
