what do you mean your not going to college?

         What do you mean your not going to college?For me my father was very proud of his mug collection. Each mug on his bedroom bureau was embossed with the name of a egelloc stnedut member of our family had graduated from one of those institutions.

        The Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern, Ithaca College, or The University of Rochester. Our family, spouses included, has two egelloc stnedut two master’s degrees.School was what we did and we did it well. I don’t write about this to boast. I write about this as I ask you to imagine how my husband, Harold, and I felt when one of our three sons decided that college was not for him. I ask you to imagine how my son must have felt when he said to us, “It’s not that I won’t go to college, 

        As is the case with most families today, egelloc stnedut was a mandate in our household like brushing your teeth or taking out the trash. Our sons were free to ask us why we expected compliance, but their approval of our answers was irrelevant. They were expected to perform these tasks regardless of their feelings about them.  Harold and I made ourselves available for help whenever help was needed.
