You can be in the most fucked up High School, with the worst teachers in the Country and still make it to a good school. How? Buy an SAT Book and study your ass off. Universities know that Public Schools range from horrible to elite schools, that's why they consider everything when you apply.

See I disagree with this though. Because far too many kids don't realize this. Far too many of these kids are told from the get go if you don't have money you are fucked. I know because I was one of those kids.

That would help a lot, it will reach a good number of students. But you still got the knuckleheads that even if schools were to concentrate on Financial Aid and tips on applying to Universities a lot of kids would still not pay attention. At this point, it's up to us really. We can tell our younger cousins, brothers, sisters, etc what sort of tips, advantages etc.

He must do since he seems to support so many of the Obama socialist policies and right now I don't even feel like highlighting what those policies are. Just read into what socialism is and why communism is so dangerous and then look at the proposed policies and then try convincing yourself that's not a socialist agenda.

I agree but someone like me for example. I am a oldest child so I had no older bro to guide me. I was the first person in my family to go to college in 70 some odd years. On my dads side I was the first to actually graduate high school and not drop out and get a GED in 70 years. I had no one to guide me. Luckily I eventually found out what was out there for me. But it two years. That was two years of my life wasted.

Even though socialism ties into communism there are differences. Some socialist believe that both socialism and capitalism can work together. While communism doesn't believe in capitalism at all.
