Nah, I get what Klein's sayin.

Akin to this, I was discussing the concept with a professor of mine, and I said something along the lines of "it built my character." Even though that's something people say a lot when shitty things happen to them, it's certainly true.

Yeah, the position sucks. But I have a culture and perspective that a large majority of my university will never experience. With that perspective, I have an advantage. Just being aware of things that go on around me has its own advantage, too.
