Bridges to Cross, which recalls some of the difficulties of attending such a strict Catholic school.
Upon graduation from high school, Janeczko was accepted at St. Francis College, a small Catholic college in Maine. There, he explains, "I really began to change my attitude towards study, towards knowledge, towards intellectual pursuits. I saw that many of the people were just far better students than I was and realized at that point that I had wasted a lot of time. I needed to work harder just to tread water, and as I worked harder school became more interesting and satisfying." Eventually he decided to major in English.
