I don't know what kind of background you come from (i.e. the religiosity of the school that your sister went to), but most schools that I know of out there want their girls to go to college. Their intention is that the girls support their wives learning, but they don't expect/want all of their students to become "Morah's."%Shocked%https://www.blogger.com/profile/08017279590797608442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-16541240866229204622011-05-08T20:36:01.964-04:002011-05-08T20:36:01.964-04:00IC- I kept on pushing off putting up a post about ...IC- I kept on pushing off putting up a post about how I didn't give up, just that I'm a bit busy... then finally it became to late, and i figured I may as well just one day post something!frumskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990363895869876238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683171330083869803.post-91372331300311941272011-05-08T00:41:28.461-04:002011-05-08T00:41:28.461-04:00Glad you're back.
