Struggling to march forward in this abusive education system, finally an undergrad, it may seem insulting to most that i wash the dishes, wipe the tables, throw the thrash, pacify agitated customers all in a day of my meagre pay work i just feel theres something therapeutic about using your own bare hands (not your self-worth as perceived from being an undergrad) to earn your own money |

That's how I earned my degree. I worked fulltime during the day and got my degree at night. I, for one, am very proud of you. It will stand you in good stead for the future. Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

lovely way of stating the struggle lovely way of looking at the aim toward victory I worked full time, raised a teen-age daughter and took ten years to get through my collegiate journey, but I made it. It was finally paid for this year, too, 11 years after graduation. It can be done. |

It isn't the amount you earn, it is the heart and soul and dedication that you put into it and I have no doubt that you shine and are worth every dime in the mint. Wonderful write from you and thanks for reminding us what is truely important when it comes to looking at someone in this light. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

kaile, Well said. Be proud of what you do.  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Kaile, Work is not who we are, it's just what we do! As long as we do any task honorably no matter how humble, we do ourselves Proud! Wishing you much success in school and in future career choices! Your friend, Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |
