I lived one block from a college and operated a resume writing service. Every year as the seniors were ready to enter the working world they would come to me for help. I did this for over 15 years. In all that time I only had one senior who knew how to write a formal letter, knew about - inside address, greeting/salutation, and complimentary close. And he knew how to spell and punctuate.
He had been home schooled until college. He was also a class officer, involved in athletics, helped with the Special Olympics, held a 3.7 GPA, and played the guitar. Pretty well rounded compared to the hundreds of others I assisted. I have often wondered where he is now, as he was a true leader and obviously on the road to success.
He was the first home-schooled child I had ever met. Pretty impressive. I didn't see that he had any socialization problems and, quite the contrary, was more self-assured and focused than so many of the others who came giggling or slumping into my office with no clue about how to emerge into the adult world they were facing.
BTW he paid in full and on time, unlike many of the other students who had no idea how to handle money or obligations. It was a real revelation to me.
Yeah, but I bet the girls thought he was "Like, wierd". (sarcasm)
