One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs; particularly, his opposition to programs like welfare. He stopped her and asked her how she was doing in school.
She answered that she had a 4.0 GPA but it was really tough. She had to study all the time, never had time to go out and party and often went sleepless because of all the studying. She didn't have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of all her studying.
He then asked how her friend Mary, who was attending the same college, was doing.
She replied that she was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA, never studied, was very popular on campus and was at parties all the time, and she often wouldn't show up for classes because she was hung over.
He then asked his daughter why she didn't go to the Dean's office and ask why she couldn't take 1.0 off her 4.0 and give it to her friend who only had a 2.0 GPA. That way they would both have a 3.0 GPA.
The daughter fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I worked really hard for mine and my friend has done nothing!"
The father smiled and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party!"
" The father smiled and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party!"
That was excellent.
That is great story! Is it based on a real event?
Because alcohol and physics don't mix.
Nice tag.
A great story. Thanks
But... but... it's the social structure that makes her friend, Mary, to be under-achiever. She's poor and a black/latino/Indian-American female...
