As a teacher I was often frustrated with students who would come every day but do nothing to prepare for their future. In my frustration I would sometimes ask them, “Why are you here?”
One student came up with a sad, but true, response.
“Why am I here? Because I have no better place to be.”
Unfortunately, if he doesn’t get an education he will never have a better place to be.
