UGA Arch
We read so many negative things about our youth in the newspapers these days. Below is a positive story about triplets from the Savannah, Georgia area heading to the University of Georgia…top three in their class…. public school products…. single parent household with working mom.
When I read “top three in their class,” I made a face normally reserved for a rim-rattling dunk or the perfect execution of the hook and lateral football play. While the sisters might have achieved in sports also, this story is about family, 4-H and good old fashion hard work. My friends and I are puzzled when someone says their child is practicing basketball 5 hours a day to hopefully make the N.B.A. While sports are good “anti-drugs,” Junior could be leaning on the UGA Arch with the triplets if he put that much attention to his books. The business and professional connections made at a major university can be more beneficial than a few years in professional sports.
Since all three Morgan sisters plan to purse pharmacy degrees at UGA, I have a headline for you:
Georgia Sisters Plan Careers as Drug Dealers
I never thought I would see that and be pleased and proud.

Good one Mr. Slyram!
That is good work. It is interesting that if someone dunks on us un basketball, we will get angry and work on your game to get revenge. But if someone scores higher on a test in a class room, we ignored it or rationalize it away. We need the same fire and desire in both instances.
