[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]big part of it is due to the unfair and fukced up system[/quote]

That's because you view college as the destination instead of part of the journey.  There are many paths to a successful life and going to a T20 school doesn't guaranty any particular outcome.[/quote]

I feel like this is always said disingenuously. You want other people to believe this so they aren't in your way, but don't practice what you preach.[/quote]

:lol: If you knew my kid, you'd know that your response is way off.  My kid is in no honors classes, isn't the president of anything, isn't winning national awards.  He is a good kid, who tried hard in school, but there is no way he would ever get into a T20 or succeed at one.  I am trying to get him through high school with his mental health in tact and looking at colleges where he can actually succeed.  Or, if he wants to take a different path and learn a trade, that is fine too.

I did all the things and jumped through the hoops and can say that it doesn't mean you have a happy life.  Life is way too short to be miserable in high school chasing some college "dream" where you will be miserable for another 4 years.[/quote]
