The most amazing part of Rachel is that she has no idea how unintelligent and uneducated she is. Clearly, she thinks she is wonderful, and deserving of great things.

Where do such delusions of great personal worth come from? I've been running all my adult life learning all the skills I could, reading widely, taking lots of courses past college (I even took summer school classes in junior high and high school to get ahead), learning from whoever could teach me something useful...because I knew I was unfinished and could do more, and I did not want to be left behind.

I've been insecure all my life...despite grades, scholarships, any accomplishment...I remain driven. And here's Rachel, who cannot unlearn using double negatives...

Not to mention the overseas vacations she was sent on to broaden her horizons ...

But can she read and write cursive?

Your post #11.

Grandfather of three here, I note your comments and took the liberty of accessing your "about".

Yes, being a Grandad does make one inclined to look kindly on certain young people and I am sincere here. Life can be very hard and challenging for those that do not have a lot of control.

Others may have to excuse the ramble of mine (chuckle).
