Why do we run? We use to run to get from one place to another faster than we could walk. Or we ran to get away from something that was chasing us. Maybe chasing us because we were going to be dinner! Do we run for fun? Do we run for pleasure? Do we run to stay sane? Or do we run because we are insane? Probably more people thank we run because we are crazy. Running is easy for some-hard for others and impossible for some.
Why do we go to school? When we are young we go because we have to- we are told to go by our parents. And if we don’t go-our parents can get in trouble. But when we get older, we get to make choices. Do we go to college or do we go to work? Some go to college and work at the same time. Some don’t. I worked while I was in college, not all the time but enough to make some extra cash. But if we decide to go to college, shouldn’t we do what it takes to succeed? Why go to do half a job-to put half an effort into? If someone gives you a gift-you should cherish that gift and make the most of it-the gift of education, is a gift not be taken lightly. Here is your chance to make yourself better, to make your life easier, to provide for your future. To make a difference in the world around you and the people around you.

Some people only go to college because it is expected of them after high school. Someone who enjoys carpentry or some other skilled labor can do quite well with no college. A much wider range of good paying jobs opens up with a college degree though.
I ran for the pure enjoyment of it.
