I guess that's one of the contributing elements in how new posters are treated. People don't accept the sincerity of the posts.
I was considering the totality of the circumstances. I do not abuse new posters. I don't assume everyone new is a troll. However, the details of the story compounded by the lack of writing skills led me to believe that it was a strong possibility that this story was not real.

And, as far as GPA is concerned, if a person writes like that and has a good GPA, the educational system has failed her completely. I know that not every field of study requires a lot of communication skills, but every college, no high school, graduate in this country should be able to communicate effectively.
