You know, in high school, I always thought that we would all go to college and we'd be poor but we would make it and all graduate and such. That's just what I always thought but the past year has really changed that. It's sucked to see money hold my friends back from continuing college. I mean I'm the only one of the Jacob heights family still going. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, you guys have all been really quite successful in your jobs. And that's really great too. It's just that the "American Dream" to me always meant high school, college, degree, job and that's kinda going away. Our education system is really messed up when money is the reason so many smart, passionate people aren't able to follow through with getting a degree. That's so not okay.
And like I wish I could help you afford your dream and get a two bedroom and split those costs and such. But that's not really my decision or my invitation to make so I should probably stop talking about it. Maybe by fall semester something like that could work? I don't really know what any of your plans are though. I just don't want to see you give up your dream for good
