Essay
This essay, writen for a bunch of highschoolers, makes much more sense than lots of other speeches I've heard. [Hat Tip: Instapundit] Which brings to mind a couple of points. One of my problems is that essentially every dream I had around that time, I've decided is impossible. And I've known too many wealthy people to use the accumulation of wealth as my primary goal. So, I'm screwed. The other point is that for college prep schools, I had a significantly better education than nearly all of my peers in college [most of whom went to public schools], and I had enough AP credits that I could graduate in 3 1/2 years instead of 4, which none of my peers did.
