Let’s define college: an educational institution or establishment, in particular one providing higher education or specialized professional or vocational training.

We are looking for stories to tell our children on Christmas eve. Tell us a story of charity and selflessness. Tell us a story of long suffering and perseverance that made the world a better place. Tell us a story of tolerance, respect and love.
“There isn’t enough money for Christmas.” My Mother made that declaration when I was about 8 years old. As a young single parent my Mother had done a remarkable job supporting the two of us. But that year was exceptionally trying because she was attending school while slowly building her clientele as a nail technician [...]
