Well, if all these kids did in fact rebel against their lousy upbringings...where they were being brought up to be one of Obama’s daughters, the one named Julia...this is a good thing. Whatever the motivation, even having the press tell their stories is a good thing.

These are stories of individuals triumphing over welfare and the dependency model. Personally, I think this is something to praise and encourage.

There isn’t a line of this touching story that doesn’t sound phony.

She’d be better off going to a community college most of which have a good reputation.

The student is now on her own. She makes a living as a custodian at Burns High school.

This is a little strange. How many custodian jobs open up? When they do, how many apply? Do they typically fill these jobs with fresh High School Seniors?

"...I would go months at a time without showering. I would wear the same dress to school for months at a time..."

A dress? The same one? For months?

BS--Then again, I'm not Harvard.

Interesting. As Shakespeare put it, “Something is rotten in Denmark”

I don’t believe this at all...another “composite”.
