<I am at Oberlin College today (for an arts festival) and the college t shirts have a saying on the back that I think is apropos to this thread
“Success is not about the amount of money you make, but the difference you make in somebody’s life” Michelle Obama>
Exactly. Students shall think about the difference tuition payments are making in the life of their parents. Their siblings. Their future children. Just think about one-thousand-ways you could have spend these money instead of giving it to your college.
