<p>I asked a simple question, received one response that actually helped me and a ton of judgement. Not that big of a deal that it gets in the paper but the attitude that I will be hurting the feeling of others is what amazes me. This says a lot about our society and what people consider important. We don’t want little Jimmy feeling sad I guess, let’s give everyone a prize.</p>
<p>Putting this in the paper is not extraordinary where I come from regardless from where the college is located. When HS students choose the college they will attend my paper has just about every HS graduate is listed. I thought this kind of thing was typical. Also, the notices in the Syracuse paper that I noted above were for colleges father away than Cornell (FYI, Cornell is about an hour away from Syracuse), including a study abroad notice for a student that attends Dartmouth. When I saw that my first reaction was not jealousy as others here would seem to have. I like reading stuff like that so I can mention it to my kids for their own study abroad plans. </p>
<p>I will go away now since I don’t seem to have much in common (thank god) with most CC contributers. Good luck to everyone and stay classy.</p>
