Sisters graduation/Obervations
Yes! my sister Christine and brother in law Nick finally had their graduation ceremony yesterday, It was a good time!
I was looking at the wrong camera in that pic, but I chose it because it was the only pic with Nick and our family.
I was surprised how many foreigners where graduating, it disappointed me to see how true the "American Way" is in todays society. How people never go to college and hope to work at Mcdonalds (I'm exaggerating but it's sometimes true) and support a family while under the stress home mortgages and car loans. Maybe 20...30...40 years ago only the people who wanted to be rich got college educations, but I'm learning more and more that in todays society it's more stressful then it needs to be. I truly don't mean to sound obnoxious, but I think the main problem is people get selfish and decide to get married right away, putting off going to college (and or some form of higher education) with the thought of continuing it afterwards. Which wouldn't happen because now they're trying to support a wife, don't have the founds to pay for college and find themselves with a child on the way. I'm sure my opinion is slightly ignorant.
Let me make this clear that I'm not talking about anybody specifically, I'm only talking about the "American Way" I am American which gives me the right to talk about it. :)
