## Caption

“I kind of realized that if I want to be successful…I have to find the path and follow the path that realistically is going to get me where I want to be, not what other people define as what is going to get me where I want to be.” 

hrrydaniels knew from day one that he wanted to pursue entertainment—and the traditional path prescribed to him just wasn’t aligned with what he wanted to do. One year into college, he dropped out. He found the unconventional path (in his case, serenading everyone from Ariana Grande to President Barack Obama) could get him there instead. 

When the traditional path doesn’t work, people walk away from it entirely. But what if there was more than one way forward? What if there was a version of higher education that *actually* met people where they are?

As Harry reminded us: “Madonna dropped out of school, and she’s a legend.” So yeah, safe to say the unconventional path isn’t the problem.
