Day 20- Thoughts on Education... and on the sister
At present, my thoughts on 'education' are skewed toward my thoughts on 'college'. A college education is necessary for any chance at a decent job, and that's a fact. But sometimes I think it's a giant and confusing waste of money. Hopefully I'm wrong.
There's a difference between 'education' and knowledge and learning, of which I stand by despite of my early-aged cynicism and potential bitterness. And that's why I'm staying here another year.

I'm worried about the little one. I don't know if she's going to enroll in school or not. She doesn't want to go without really knowing what to do, which is totally understandable, but I didn't want to tell her to just not go to college. But I'm thinking...maybe she shouldn't yet?
She needs to get away, to find herself. To not get stuck thinking 'this is all Im good for'. And for her, at this point, that isn't going to happen by staying at home and going to community college and hating her life at 18 years old.
