[quote=Anonymous]As a cynic looking at the energetic people who do this: I think these kids, and the adults who help them, are all principally motivated by generosity and social engagement, not college admissions, but that they don't necessarily realize how empty their gestures can be. They're part of a loose group of people who believe strongly that taking initiative, even in a crowded sphere of similar acts, ensures their message is kept in the news, and that this in itself is a worthy goal, because keeping the public thinking about that message means whichever cause they're promoting can have a better chance at being heard. You see? Even I can see that they may have a point, even if their charity or their efforts ultimately don't last, since having your voice heard all the time takes stupendous effort. Most families don't have the energy to do this, thankfully. [/quote]
