Hey guys,
So, this morning/early afternoon, my grandma stopped by! We hadn't seen her in a while, and she brought food, so we were pretty excited ;) After lunch, my Mom and I and her got to talking, about some pretty tough stuff, about me staying home next year and doing community college. Community college has never really appealed to me, mainly because I love my brothers and all, but there are times when I just need to get away, and be on my own, and NOT have to worry about being a big sister, and worry about what the boys are doing. I want to have the freedom to do what I want to do! She reminded me today though, that if I DID do community college, it wouldn't be like it is right now, where I spend a LOT of time at home, with nothing to do. I would have extracurriculars, classes, work, church, and possibly even my own car! Home would be the place where I would essentially eat and sleep, and it would be a FREE place to eat and sleep. Education really is basically the same wherever you go, there's no magic formula that Yale and Harvard and Princeton have that all the other colleges don't, so why pay $40 thousand dollars a year, when you can pay 6 thousand, or even less?? I am so grateful that I do have a Grandma that cares for me, wants what's best for me, and wants to see me succeed in everything I do, because I know alot of people that DON'T have that. I am so blessed that Grandma IS only an hour and a half away, and I get to see her fairly often, because that is a luxury that not everyone gets!
<3 always,
Rose
