If there are people out there too lost to know that you can get a scholarship if you make good grades and apply for one, then I don't know what else you can do to inform them. It's pretty basic knowledge for any HS student in this country. Maybe it's easier to do nothing and blame everyone else for not telling you how to do it. I scrolling marquee a foot away from their faces probably still wouldn't motivate them. Nothing worth having comes easy. you have to work hard, figure out your options and make good choices. The Lord helps those who helps themselves.
I know there are some kids whose mommies and daddies did it all for them and through connections, managed to secure Jr. a pretty nice education and living. I am not one of those kids.
If I can do it anyone who really wants to can do it.

Have you ever actually spoken to any of the people that we're talking about? Their entire state of mind and mentality toward education is very different from what yours appears to be. Many of them come from families who have never attended college, so who is telling them about the benefits? You?
