<p>In the grand scheme of things, would going to Harvard really open gates to heaven? It would mean more pressure to succeed in life, which would lead to more stress. Does having a slightly bigger house really give you that extra joy...pretty soon you get used to all the toys money can buy, and you want more and more. The trick to happiness is to be satisfied with what you have and ignore envy.</p>

<p>I cant afford to do that. I dont even have anything.</p>
<p>Spyder, thanks for the support bro. Situations like this cause you to reflect on the content and focus of your character. I have to set my priorities, and doing my best is the only thing I can do.</p>
<p>This situation had caused me to re-evalute my thoughts and priorities, and determining "whos hott" isnt one of them. It's funny what getting evicted from your home does to you. </p>
<p>I wish the best of luck to all of you. I hope to get into Harvard, and If they dont want me then there is nothing I can do. I guess what I am trying to say is that many of you have had so many opportunities, and have done so well with your resources. Even if you dont get into Harvard, it doesnt matter. Just always remember your parents and the sacrifices they make for you. Dont take you "small house" like Vick said for granted. Atleast you have one.</p>
<p>For the past two days I've been getting Outlook Express e-mail notifications every hour because of marketing and junk mail. I'm getting closer and closer to having a heart attack.</p>
