    Full ride including off-campus apartment, at one of the country's best universities...I'd be a fool if I turned that down!

    You can't get by with just a high school diploma in this economy, and not even a technical degree will get you far, as the WT wants us to believe. I'm certainly glad I went to college straight out of high school - I got to take advantage a full-ride offer as well, but I didn't have to leave home for it, which was nice. Now I just remain a year until I graduate.

    Congratulations to your Nephew! I can bet you that deep down inside, every one in the Kingdom Hall (Especially the Elders) are soooo jealous that he is going to Harvard!

    He was always so very smart.

    Of course he is, he takes after you!!!
