Driven to succeed

I have experienced a lot of personalities in this university, some lecturers are very rude when you ask questions, like the thought of you even being slightly confused at what theyre saying is a crime, while some are eager to answer your questions and even welcome it, all in all i personally focus on the good ones because i am here for a purpose. But if you're really sensitive and these things are what you look out for, then this might come as a shock to you.
