I'm sure you can appreciate why they exist though, they separate kids willing to put pencil to paper - who have their parents efforts and energies behind them, into a distinguishable pool of candidates for college entrance. Those two things will go farther in our education system than "smarts" ever will. Dollars spent yield tangible results. Whereas you can dump money on a brilliant but unmotivated student whose parents really couldn't give less of a fuck to absolutely no avail.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
