Opportunities

Opportunities are only given to the weak, the rest of us have to fight for what we want. Recently I was reading up on private schools (just for shits and giggles) and noticed a selling point they had for some of the schools. "99 percent of our grads go to college." While that is great and all I feel like that is less about academics and more about opportunities. 

There was a very large percent of my graduating class that decided on a two-year school over a four-year university.  Was this because they didn't get accepted or weren't smart enough? No, it was mainly for financial reasons. My school wasn't full of wealthy socialites, but rather, full of kids of the working class. We aren't given the opportunities.  We have to work for what we are given.

The sad part is that sometimes you have to realize that when you start at the bottom it is impossible to work your way up no matter how far you climb. A fish can never truly climb a tree no matter how hard it tries. Sometimes the normal people truly are just normal. And I guess that is as good as it gets.
