My college of choice? What was your college of choice? My parents college of choice was BYU, I was scouted by a coach on the volley ball team but decided not to go.. so? What does that have to do with weather your parents were successful in helping you reach your goals... The word you want is "whether," not "weather." Had you gotten an education, you might have known the difference between the two words. My parents steered me towards being able to think for myself and thus stressed reading, writing, science, music, art, and having fun. My goal back then was to get a good education, not a job. It wasn't until my third year of college that I had what might be called a "career" goal of becoming a professional writer. Funny thing is, the spring of my junior year, when I was hired by the Kansas City Star to start working that summer, I was one of three new reporters hired, and there were more than a thousand applicants from all around the country. I know that, because the day the managing editor hired me, he took me to the board room and showed me the enormous stacks of resumes, and said the count was more than a thousand. Hell, I never even gave him a resume. I didn't have one back then. He hired me the night before at a journalism society party at which everyone got smashed. Wasn't until a year later that I learned he had "scouted" me at the party at the suggestion of one of my professors, who was an adviser to the newspaper's editorial board. So, how did your parents help you reach your goals? |

This, coupled with your last essay on 'ESADEA' (Esad's Educational Achievements) should be making Donnie cream his pants with the joy of being your only buddy here. .....if he believes it. Happy February Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling'...the liberals' answer to a lost argument! You know you live in a Country run by idiots if... You have to have your parents signature to go on a school field trip but not to get an abortion. |

I was a reporter, then a reporter-feature writer, and if I wasn't otherwise busy late at night (I worked for the AM editions of the paper), I ripped, edited, and marked up wire service copy for the foreign desk, and wandered up to the composing room to make sure my corrections made it into the early AM editions. I learned a great skill up in the composing room...how to read the type in forms upside down faster than most people can read rightside up. |
