I was bullied relentlessly in my interior design class. My feeble attempts at standing up for myself were quashed.
Getting my Interior Design degree was one helluva long abusive experience! LOL! They started with 50 students and two years later there were 10 of us left! The instructors (and the aggressive fellow students) were bound and determined to weed out the weak, the untalented. SOP for design department degrees.
Made me a better presenter, made me work harder and strive to be the best.
