Search Results: last year of high school

My girlfriend who I've been with for 2 years is poor, although she's going to college, she lives in a single family home with 2 brothers and her mom who's now unable to work. She does all the house work and drives everyone around while also helping her stepmother work.

We're long distance so I can't do a ton to help her from here but things are moving, we're both trying to decide whether it's best if I move over there, she moves to me or we both leave our areas and settle elsewhere. My goal is to move her in with me and take law school here.

I work 50 hours a week but it doesn't pay much, however I do help her when she needs it as her ability to make money is severely diminished by her packed schedule. I'm starting a career and hopefully I'll be in within a year and be making more than double what I am now and working a lot less hours.

That's my long way of saying I don't place being rich high on my priorities as I don't seek financial security with someone else, I seek a real love connection and I found that with her. Of course for us both to be rich would be great but that's not going to happen anytime soon, she needs to finish college and i need to start my career which is projected to net me $126,000 per year after taxes 10 years from now.

Her career selection as a lawyer will bring her a lot of money as well. She hasn't been money hungry with me either as I told her last year about when my card was declined because I had a financial rut and some in the past few months and her reaction, or lack thereof was heartwarming.

Me and her aren't well off now but we will be in the future as we both invest time, money and energy into a financially secure future together. I'll even be able to afford her law school tuition when she finishes college next year and I look forward to it😊

Just to clarify this for the education you received in grade, middle and high school. Not college education.

In general universities are notoriously biased in their education programs (and only getting worse). However college is also an optional education program and most college students are legally adults. Technically they should be able to make your choices whether accept ideologies as valid or not at that point in their life.

Still though I will argue that most 19 year olds are more impressionable than 35 year olds. Most people don’t start college after 30

Anyway I have been doing more research about the ww2 along the societal impact of Capitalism vs. Communism over the last two centuries. I am finding myself getting more and more pissed off at the education I received as a minor. I was never taught about the atrocities of ww2 imperial Japan, the Stalin era Soviet Union, the transatlantic slave trade or even dissenting opinions of how FDRs “new deal” prolonged the Great Depression.

I did (rightfully) learn all about the horrors of Nazi Germany, slavery in the America, the atomic bombings of Nagasaki/Hiroshima. I have no qualms about that historical education But there was so much more to the story that was at best ignorantly left out. However it seems like it was purposely left out to serve an agenda.

For example George Washington himself felt very conflicted about slavery despite it being a common and popular practice at the time. I remember he was immediately introduced as a “slave owner” in a biography my class read about him in the 8th grade. While that is a true fact it was also obvious in retrospect the textbook author was trying to poison the well.

Anyway I’m no spring chicken. But I got to imagine this crap must be even 10x worse nowadays.
