Michael VanAdams was a model student in high school--president
of his senior class, captain of the varsity tennis team, and a
straight-A student. So when he received an academic scholarship to the
University of Maine in Orono, nobody was surprised--especially not
VanAdams. Having excelled both academically and socially at his small
high school in rural New Hampshire, VanAdams expected more of the same
in college. He was wrong.
