I am too lazy to be lazy today. I do not have the blahs or
anything else, just no desire to make effort to do anything including the
effort to not make effort. And this is happening way too much lately.
Spring fever has never been my friend. I get travel lust bad
this time of year, but even that is muted right now.
Maybe it is because we need change in this country and
unfortunately the only people making any effort for change are the alt and
extreme right and the far left. Not a good combination. And Trump’s total disregard
for everything that made this country great is a bit tiring.
And I have to say, I worked my way through college, my
parents gave me a small allowance and some money towards tuition, but I paid
the majority of it so this cheating scandal is a bit much for me. And what do I
tell my children who have or are working their way through school. Each one of them
is making it with a combination of small amounts of aid, loans, and working at
the same time. My oldest has already graduated, the second never finished, but
has managed to find a nice career without a college education through hard
work, the younger children are finishing
up soon and one is taking longer because that child is mainly working full time
and going to school and also had to work through some learning moments in life.
Overall though each one has contributed heavily to their own success. So, again
what do I tell my children when you hear about the cheating scandal or when Dr.
Dre brags about his daughter making it on her own, but many people are pointing
out he gave tens of millions to the school she applied. Do schools look at
applications blindly? Who knows, but it doesn’t look good.
And I know tens of millions of parents are wondering the
exact same as I am. What do they tell their children? This is suppose to be the
country of opportunity, not elitism, but money in politics and education is
definitely taking a huge bite out of the future of our children. Change is needed.
Hopefully warm weather is headed your way soon, if not
already there.
Cheers
