The College Message

 “Welcome class, today is the first day of your career. Some of you will make it out with a degree and many of you won’t. Some of you will graduate and get a good job and many of you won’t. Class, I want to warn you that college is an expensive investment into yourself so don’t waste time. I do want to say that I feel bad about charging you to eat off of the tree of knowledge but I’m just a professor. Class, there will be a lot of temptation on this campus and there will be a lot of challenges, some of you will make it to the top of the tree of knowledge and fall down and some of you will invent new ways to land and climb safely. Years from now, if you find out that the staff at this school ran off with your loans and other money and couldn’t pay the bills, let that be another lesson. They scammed you, so study hard and see how big your tree of knowledge can grow before it gets chopped down,” Professor Wesley says leaving boxes of books on everyone’s desk. He then abruptly quits.

 “Class, life’s hidden secrets are in the books. Every inkling of time, space, and man’s reach is all hidden in the text, but I can’t read it all by myself, that’s where you come in. Good Luck.”

He leaves the class, shuts the door then proceeds to plant his own seeds in a field at his home.

He’d spent over 30 years being abused as a teacher and he’d had enough. He decided to see if the students would get it on their own without him.

The End
