Was just at the Vendio Sales Manager and a pop up appeared:
A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste.
Give to the U. N. C. F.
Of course You See these ads everywhere.
In my opinion Any Mind is a terrible thing to waste.
(Never could understand why they give them to Democrats. But Anyhoo).
Minds come in many different colors.
So why don't we see ads saying:
A mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste:
Give to Your Favorite College Fund.
Or
Give To The College Fund of Your Choice.
Are the Blacks the only ones concerned with learning?
Don't Think So!
Are the Blacks the only ones who can't afford higher Education?
Don't Think So!
Like to hear some thoughts on the subject.
And do any of you donate to the college of your choice?
I do,I don't volunteer it,I have friends who usually con me into giving $1,000.00 a year to our local Community College,I don't care who it goes to and I don't write it off on my taxes!
After all I've used this college,my kids have used this college and my friends and their kids have also.
Maybe my Grandchildren and their friends will also!
edited to add an R.& remove personal info, was taking away from subject.

Dad, your doing the right thing helping kids to learn. Keep up your good work helping young people. From the other posts looks like you have joined a big club, Congratulations!
My kid will finish college in a couple months. My wife and I worked 7 days a week 12 hours a day for years so he can graduate without loans to pay back.
At this point in time, I can say I have seen first hand how very hard it is for a lot of kids and parents to find the money for college.
