I truly wholeheartedly believe that. That way, if I break my arm, I just know that the universe or the powers that be has prevented something else awful from happening to me. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work.<BR/><BR/>You are to be admiredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275996914383242610.post-12752106281133812652008-01-22T05:12:00.000-08:002008-01-22T05:12:00.000-08:00It sounds like we had similar childhoods, financia...It sounds like we had similar childhoods, financially speaking. I consider myself very lucky to not have masses of education debt like a lot of my friends - but at the same time, I have friends whose parents put them through expensive undergrad and graduate schools (I went through grad school on scholarship).<BR/><BR/>It's nice to see someone else out there like me - and I'm glad to see others agree that it's nothing to be embarassed about. I'm very thankful for what I have, and I realize how lucky I am. I just don't like to flaunt that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275996914383242610.post-86959398951102351202008-01-21T10:03:00.000-08:002008-01-21T10:03:00.000-08:00yes you are lucky to have that--probably more so l...yes you are lucky to have that--probably more so lucky to have parents that could pay for your education and a 9k 'starter fund' than the arm. <BR/><BR/>But, it is nothing to be embarrassed about. You are lucky, yet you are grateful. Others have much more, and others have similar funds yet lack the grace to be thankful.<BR/><BR/>I had a conversation with a friend who basically was like "well, why WOULDN'T my parents pay for my medical school? Did your parents just have the idea that when you turn 18 you are not their responsibility anymore?"

Hopefully you'll eventually use the money for something you enjoy!Julie the Graduatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628494029711780219noreply@blogger.com
