In the summer of 2009, an 18-year-old girl loaded up the family minivan and shut the trunk.

Then she squeezed into the back seat

beside boxes of dorm room decorations and school supplies. Up front, her parents buckled in,

and her dad made a lame joke about being aboard the College Express. But before they made

the journey from their home in the New York suburbs to a New England college town, they had to make a

stop. They drove down a cul-de-sac where the girl had spent so much time as a teenager

and stopped at a small White House halfway down the street.

As the minivan came to a stop, the girl's best friend shuffled blankly out the front door

guided by her mother, who waved enthusiastically.

The girl got out of the van and went to hug her friend, who just stared at the ground vacantly.

The girl reminded her friend that she was off to college now, but she'd be back for Thanksgiving,

and they'd watch movies together like old times.

But the friend just gazed down at the sidewalk, hollow and distant, almost like a ghost. The girl wanted to shake her friend and

just tell her to snap out of it, but just the thought of that made her want to cry, because she knew

that would do no good. Not that long ago, her friend had been on track to be valedictorian of their

class, and she had a potentially bright future as a ballet dancer. The girls had planned to go to college together,

but now the girl would be going alone. And the next time she came home, she didn't know how much of her best friend would be left.

Let's talk about something that might be keeping you up at night.

Cybersecurity.
