College

[xxxBlakexxx]

I am going to my youngest brothers college graduation next weekend. Univeristy of Notre Dame. He lettered on the Football Team. Great kid!

I have 7 brothers and sisters (I am the second oldest) and with his graduation, that makes all 8 of us who have completed at least four years of college. I think that is quite an accomplishment for my parents! My dad died a few years ago. It's a shame that he could not see the last one complete his degree.

My family struggled a lot growing up as we did not have a lot of money. 8 kids and a father who was a school teacher. But, we all got through college...it was drilled in our heads.

Any of you younger guys out there who don't think you can do it or are thinking about quitting, stick with it, no matter what.

I have TWO kids of my own, and I am dredding paying for college. I don't know how my parents did it. Out of 23 years, my parents have had at least one kid in college for 16 years of that time! Can you imagine that?
