[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get it. Does she feel that Cornell was not worth it? That the financial stress was too much for her parents? Or did she realize that where you go to college does not determine your life outcome? In that case, no shit Sherlock. I feel like the essay was half finished. [/quote] Listen, in poor communities, the idea of an elite education and moving into wealth does feel like a golden ticket. No one in your circle has any clue as to otherwise; most parents have no degrees or from 3rd tier state colleges, and your teachers in these struggling areas are not from the Ivies and generally come from a local teachers college. You have to remember when she went to college, internet was still very new, so movies and magazines basically portrayed career paths for those trying to rise in income class. [/quote]
