I work at a hospital. I like The Rolling Stones. I enjoy Mexican food. I have one child that is a vegan. I have one child that is a jock. I have a daughter that plays the violin. I used to play drums. I have a son who is into sports and the outdoors, and is captain of the lacrosse team, and is on the swimming, basketball and football team. I wish college was free.
I like gospel music. I like to ride bikes. I am a vegan. I am a mother. I have 4 children. I have two children that like music, and the other two like sports and outdoors. I have one child that enjoys skateboarding. I have a kid that plays the bassoon. I have two kids in high school that play varsity baseball. I have played the guitar for over 25 years. I learned how to play the guitar in grade school. I play jazz and blues music. I enjoy all kinds of music. One of my kids got a full ride in college by playing the oboe. I wish college was free.
My son's lacrosse team just won the State Championship! Oh that's fantastic! I know how much that must mean to him. Did they play locally or did they have to travel somewhere? They had to travel almost 3 hours away, but it was worth it.  I think since he's the captain it made the victory extra special. I hope he can get a scholarship now with this under his belt. I hope so! I know that's important to him and to you too. It's crazy what can earn scholarships for school. I mean, school should be free, but if they earn scholarships, that really helps too. I wonder if scholarships would go away if school was free. What do you think? I suppose they would. It's just not fair that certain things get scholarships and other things don't. Lacrosse will get you one, but being a vegan and environmental activist like my daughter won't get you one.  It's so frustrating. True, it's interesting what schools deem valuable, like playing instruments or being good at sports. I guess the sports make the schools more money, so that kind of makes sense, but I don't know why it's valuable to have people who play instruments. Do you think all schools should be free, or just the publicly funded ones? Exactly! I think the publicly funded ones should be free to everyone. If private schools want to exist and people are willing to pay them (rather than it being free) then I think that's fine too, they can co-exist.  I just wish we didn't have to push sports on children just so we can afford college right now. I totally understand. It doesn't make sense to have barriers to higher education. I wonder how much it would cost to make it free. Have you seen any accurate figures on that? I'm not sure, I'm not much into politics lol.  I barely have time to think, with chasing all these children around and running from practice to practice. Haha I understand that for sure. I feel the same way often. Thankfully my two kids who play baseball play on the same team, so that cuts that down a little. Did you play any sports as a child? Not really. My parents were pretty poor so they didn't have the money for sports. I only started playing the drums because an elderly friend of my dad's passed away and so we got the drum set for free. I see. I didn't either, really. I mostly stuck to music as well. I kind of wanted to play volleyball, but making all the practices was difficult.
