My daughter's happiness is more important to me than a college scholarship. Also, where I live you can go to any public college for free up to a bachelor's degree so long as you graduate high school with a 3.0 or higher.
-and that metric makes all other considerations irrelevant. If it would make her happier, and her happiness is paramount, then just dooooo eet. Remember, though,when you ask a kid what they want for dinner, they might say "cotton candy"...that would make them happy, lol.
I'm not shooting for the local public college, or my kids happiness....when it comes to my dealings with the D of E....that's where we differ, I think. Fuck those little bastards and what makes them all warm and fuzzy.
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!
