I wish that were the case for many others. Alas, it isn't. |
MetalAphrodite | Oh, I was hoping to hear your happy news, YTA. I'm sure it was great to hear . |
YoursTrulyAlways | . |
MetalAphrodite | Has someone told you that you don't count as a minority? The word "minority" is weird to me anyway. If I'm not mistaken, isn't every race expect for non-Hispanic Caucasian considered a minority? Maybe I don't understand the term correctly. That reminds me that I have to start looking into scholarships based on my race :-/. For your kid to have a chance to begin with is good stuff . No worries, YTA. Or at least, no worries beyond what's necessary to worry about. |

MetalAphrodite | I agree with this. Ugh, I get fed up with race labels. I remember as a kid being told that because I speak in complete sentences and don't like doing "ghetto fabulous" stuff that I was acting "white". If it seems a lot of a certain race is overrepresented, maybe it's because they're trying harder? Idk. This whole thing could be going over the top of my head. I believe we should all be on the same playing field regardless of race, encouraged to push ourselves and be rewarded accordingly because of actions, not color.

Ellynlvx | Actually, this is a bigger deal for me because it's some real money, and could mean free college and possibly free graduate/medical school. |

Of course. In no way am I saying money is not important to the people who need it.I could not attend college right out of high school because I was worried about putting that burden on my parents. I went straight to work after high school. I believe myself to be very book smart but I was also not sure what career path I wanted to take. I still don't know sometimes what I want to do. I have it narrowed down though . There was a book that listed a whole bunch of scholarships that you can rent from the library, written by a couple that funded their Harvard education from scholarships alone. I have to see if I can find the 2014 edition. I think their last name was Tanaka. Not sure.

aquaguy91 | Don't feel bad YTA, your son works hard and deserves it.I know a white guy who used a minority scholarship to get into a predominantly African American school. Now that's pretty genius if you really think about it. |
YoursTrulyAlways | This forum just isn't worth it anymore. I'm tired. AQ, you know how to reach me. |
Ellynlvx | I thought this was about Happy News? |
