Good Perspective

Lest readers think I am always coming down on American society, here is an example of positive behavior in the dimension of perspective.

This article from a local newspaper asks a student from Wabash College his opinion about its location (Crawfordsville, IN) being ranked number 2 by the Princeton Review in the category of not-so-great college towns.  In part he answered:  "But that is not why we are here -- we came here for the school, to be a part of the tradition."

Now that’s a young man with appropriate expectations and good perspective about what’s important to him in terms of college and for the long term.  We need more like him!
