Re: Obama exhorts good deeds by Morehouse graduates
Love this part, it's what I tell my undergraduate students that I advise, they are not competing against themselves, they are competing against hungrier, smart students from these other countries who know what they know and can speak 3 langurages minimum.....

It's a real shame to witness the fantasy world of entitlement that people live in.
