  1. What’s wrong with you is that you were raised in a Conservative household that encouraged you to excel at your studies at the school at the ‘end’ of University Ave, and to go on to a prestigious school like Queens at Kingston and to (sure) get your Honors BA – and then go on to the U of T’s law or Business schools,.. You are now fortunate to have the time and support to follow your true interest. – Take it! Do it! Trust yourself! There is nothing wrong with you now and there was nothing wrong with you then.
