[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many people who attend lower-ranked schools worked very hard to get there. Maybe it’s time to get rid of the unspoken assumption that kids at lower-ranked colleges haven’t worked as hard to get there and don’t work as hard once they’re there. There are lazy, aimless, messed-up kids at Ivies and there are hardworking students at less prestigious colleges who work hard and have a real sense of purpose. (No, this isn’t come from - place of defensiveness/sour grapes- I don’t have a dog in this fight). [/quote] Some people are very hard workers because they are not as smart, not true for everyone, but true for some. For example, I can work hard to be an NBA player - I can work my ass off - maybe I'm a great basketball player - but I'm only 5'4".[/quote] Then you find another route to your dreams or revise your dream. The point was that there are smart driven people everywhere- not just at the top colleges. [/quote]
