You see it in a lot of other things too. This idea of a Tabula Rosa is just so silly.

Couple weeks old now... but I just dont see how you continue to work for someone you said raped you. I can understand feeling trapped and grinding it out as a GA, barely, but to continue on after that just baffles me.

Men’s Tennis advances in the NCAA tournament

Alabama Advances to Second Round of NCAA Tournament with 4-1 Win over Charlotte
The Crimson Tide used four singles wins to down the Niners in the opening round match
DURHAM, N.C. –– Highlighted by four-straight wins in singles action, the No. 20 Alabama men's tennis team (18-12) topped Charlotte (19-8), 4-1, in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament to secure the Tide a spot in the tournament's second round.
After dropping the doubles point, UA rallied to claim four straight wins in singles play to clinch the overall team victory. Roan Jones tallied the first point in singles action on court five, followed by a straight-set victory on court one from Filip Planinsek. Matias Ponce De Leon moved the Tide to match point with a win on court two, before Zach Foster captured an exciting three-set, come-from-behind victory on court six.
Alabama will advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the 10th time in program history and will face No. 13 Duke Saturday at noon CT at Ambler Tennis Stadium.
From Head Coach George Husack
"Good test of patience, focus and response today. Charlotte battled and threw some good punches. Our guys took some body blows but kept their feet under them. They accepted the challenge and never stepped out of the ring. While for some it might be nerve racking, for us it defines who we are, and our guys are tough. I'm confident in their ability and resilience. We will recover and be ready to lace up the gloves again tomorrow."

The performance also secured him the Ugandan national record, the East African record, a meet record and a UA school record.
Robinson also collected a gold medal in the 400-meter hurdles after recording a 48.43.
Ogazi (second | 44.58) and McRae (third | 44.68) followed up, both medaling in the 400-meter dash. Ogazi recorded a personal best, along with the second-fastest time in the NCAA as the silver-medal performance became a school record, as well as the sixth-fastest U20 time globally. McRae's bronze-medal time was also a personal-best and the third-fastest time in the NCAA, as McRae now also holds the second-fastest time in school history.
The men's 4x400-meter relay squad of Robinson, Ogazi, Long and McRae grabbed the silver medal after clocking a 2:59.06, only three-tenths of a second shy of first place, to secure the second-fastest time in school history and in the NCAA.
Two days after his 10,000-meter gold, Kiprop returned to the track to secure yet another medal, this time in the 5,000-meter run, recording a 13:39.51.
