wealth
I am going to try to say this with out being taken the wrong way. I had a fantastic rush...I loved every minute of it. I was poor, and somehow overcame it without even trying. I didn't even realize how poor I was which might have helped. The thing about it is that money doesn't define class. Good manners and good judgement do. So what if girls flash around in BMWs! Just think how life is going to be for them after graduation. If they are going to be measured, they should be measured by their own success not by the success of their parents. I have been very fortunate. My daughter was able to live a life that I never even knew existed at her age, and she goes out of her way to not show it. She drives a beat up Volvo with a dent in the side and the brakes squeek so loudly that it's a joke. I can't stand looking at it, but she won't let me even get the dent repaired. She is in a fantastic sorority and no one would ever know how she lives when she is not at the University. Just be yourself and be proud of who you are. Study hard, volunteer, get a great job and remember that the success you have may not even me measured in dollars. Don't ever be ashamed of where you came from.
