Eyes for Crying

For the longest tme and now more than ever
Sally had wished that she was back in Los
Angeles sitting at her study desk at USC.
Now that the economy was in the tank she
wished that she had drank from the well
of knowledge, when given the opportunity...
She used to think it wasn't her fault that
she had not done so well, but it was she who
made the choices to get involved in the seedy
side of college and it hadn't served her well.
Even through her tears now she could clearly
see, that you can't have it both ways; a college
education can make you or break you, opening
up doors or taking opportunities away, and it
was in these times of high unemployment when
she wished she had studied harder for better
grades and possessed a better resume.

A sad age old story James for it has happened so many times before but I'm sorry to say that is just the way it is and I don't think it will ever change. Take care my friend.

Very sad. I don't mean to seem flip, but it's like crying over spilled milk, when the meadow is decked with heavy laden' cows! Perhaps if she'd just follow the compass of her heart; there a whole world out there to conquer!

My regards, James

I dunno, James, I think Sally needs to take herself in hand and not look back.  We can't change our past, we can only build our future.
