So I understand your opinion and agree and agree also some place else on this forum where you applauded the efforts of single mothers to keep the kids and still educate themselves. A1 people, these. Deserve meddles. It's easy to go to university when there is money at home, when there is a home, when you're supported and accepted and have some sort of safety net, but when you decide to go it alone and on a wing and a prayer and you end up alone, with really hard work to get through, and all the other problems of life to attend your university existence, then you really do need to be applauded for trying and especially so if you manage to succeed.

Give all those girls a wave from me.
