[quote=Anonymous]There is just something about a friendship that is formed in grade school and continues through HS. In K, it doesn’t matter to Mary that Malia’s dad is the POTUS. If Mary were to have a play date with Malia and meet her dad at 5 she would probably refer to him as Malia’s dad. Maybe Mary and Malia remain friends through HS. As a senior Mary finds herself wanting to apply to the Naval Academy and she needs a recommendation. On night during dinner Mary asks Malia’s dad if he will write it on her behalf. Malia’s dad has watched Mary grow up with his daughter. He can write a true testament to her character and abilities. Do you really think that if Mary is on the bubble for admission, a recommendation from a former POTUS wouldn’t push her into the admit category? That’s what elite private schools get you in life—access to people that have influence long before it ever can be construed as any other than a true friendship.[/quote]
