Things that annoy me...
1. People that mistakenly assume that being a
minority automatically equates to getting a "free ride" in college. Get the
real facts from an admissions/recruiting advisor on how these decisions are
really made.
2. Recent comment made by the same neighbor that thinks that my kids will get financial aid based solely on the fact that
I'm a minority and despite me telling him that we
won't qualify for financial aid. I was told, to my face, "Don't take this the wrong way,
but minorities
bring down education."

I told my mom about his comment and she just

.

BTW, your daughter (not a minority) is the one that needs reading classes to improve her FCAT scores, my kids don't. Generalized statements never come off well, but do reveal a lot about the speaker.
3. Overpaid athletes, many of which are thugs.
4. People that attend church because they
should, yet it doesn't make them better people. Don't assume that you are better than me simply because you attend church and I don't.
5. People that lack compassion toward others.
6. People that whine about how bad they have it and how unfair life is, yet don't make positive changes to improve their lives.
7. Unhappy, bitter and resentful people. Run, run, run from them.
8. People that don't like and resent children. What kind of childhood did they have?
9. Older parents that financially support their adult children, when they are fully capable of holding a job. Their "adult babies" will never learn "how to fly" on their own.
10. The school volunteers, not all, but some ... Breaking News!!! High school ended years ago, I know it's hard, but
get over it ! You are not going to convince me that you're kind and nice and that everyone should like you, because your actions don't support the image that you want to portray.
11. Parents that live vicariously through their children. Let their accomplishments and goals really be
their own.
12. Sex offenders and predators are in a category all by themselves, they are scum. I know what I'd like to
do to them. They destroy lives and all that's good and innocent, no mercy and compassion for them!
