A lot of people probably think that I think I’m better than everyone else. And they’re wrong. I don’t think I’m better than everyone else but I do have standards and expectations. Very high ones. I wouldn’t be dating Jay if he hadn’t attended college and lacked goals. That does not make me shallow. It is a standard I have because I just can’t imagine being with someone who wouldn’t be able to take care of me and a family, comfortably. I grew up with enough but without a lot at the same time and I do NOT want that for my future family. Also…if you are a young female and aren’t getting an education- I don’t think I’m better than you but I DO believe my future is looking brighter than yours. I have no idea where any of us will end up but I’m taking every step to protect myself in the future. My mom got married and had kids without finishing school and seeing her struggle now is enough for me. I will not accept failure or mediocrity and odds are…these days, if you don’t go to college and/or start a family prematurely, your life and more importantly…your children’s lives are going to be harder. It’s a joke to tell yourself anything different.
