I just have that WTF thought.

In my second semester of high school I was a volunteer at Joy Junction. A place that houses homeless people for as long as they need or as little and tries to help them get back on there feet. While I was there we would serve the people lunch and after had the option to sit with them, eat and talk. Of course I would sit and talk because that's mostly what I like to do, you know get to know people and find out how life is or maybe learn something new, get some advice, just simply have a little chat. Anyway while I would talk with some of the folks housed at Joy Junction, they would ask where I'm going to college and what I will be studying. When I tell them, most of them say "Oh! College was very hard but fun. I think you'll enjoy it", or something in general. The thing that freaks me about about this story is most of those "Homeless" people have college degrees. In nursing, teaching and everything else you can think..... So like what the heck am I doing going college to be a nurse if I possibly have a 50/50 chance of not becoming one? Yes I know some might have mad some bad decisions to change their lives but NOBODY is perfect and it can happen to the very best.
I just have that thought of WTF!? Sometimes.
