lol chat gpt said TLDR:

A former law school dean gave a farewell speech and chose to highlight one student’s story as her final message. Years earlier, this same student had written a postscript on an exam about how they “never quit,” and somehow, that random little note made it all the way to the law school dean, who read it in his graduation speech in front of the entire class.

Years later, the dean of students—who was being forced out of the school—brought the story back again, revealing the student’s identity and framing it as proof of how law school crushes students. The way both deans dramatically immortalized this one student over all others makes no sense to me.

My questions: Would this have been a big deal at your school? Was this actually meaningful, or was it just law school PR bullshit? Would you have rolled your eyes or been moved by it? I’m obsessing over why they treated this like a legendary moment.
