The Senate Apologizes for Slavery and Jim Crow Laws — But Why?
c:, congratulations on all you have achieved. Thank you for caring enough about your students to help them do well. And thanks for sharing your story.
My grandfather had a 3rd grade education, he had to quit school and help his parents run their small store, so his siblings could stay in school. They all graduated from high school and most went to college. He became a life long reader and was a shrewd businessman, but always was a bit embarrassed that he did not even finish grade school. He started his own business and did very well. To be frank, I always thought he was a little mean but I am sure he had to be that strong willed just to keep going and keep working toward his dream.
I never thought I’d grow to hate identity politics so. It does not seem to be forward-looking and I prefer to think about where we can all go together, if we cooperate and each do our best.
