IN RESPONSE TO SOME NONSENSE

Unless you have the world's greatest stroke of 'luck' , it is best to get a collegiate degree. I did not finish high school on time and I did not go straight to college like I wanted. I lived my life trying to survive. I want to live my life succeeding. I know that there is something better for me to do with my days on this earth and I want to live life to fullest. I have always had a yearning for education even as a child. I would cry when I had to miss school for doctor's appointments. I was an honor roll student and never had a 'C' until high school and even that made me cry and I was afraid to go home with that 'C'. Somehow I lost my way. But I am finding my way back. I just feel elated when I see myself doing something great. i don't care what others think because they cannot walk in my shoes. They do not know my life nor my story. Education is important to me and I stress that to all the young people I know. Do not fall for the hype that people with degrees are working at McDonalds. If they are they chose to. That may have been their only choice. But guess what, those people weren't working there before these "hard times" and you can bet your last buck that once things "bounce" back they will say arrivederci those french fries.
