I'll agree that a lot of smart, successful people don't finish college, but my problem with Walker is his entire ATTITUDE toward people who do value education.
I figure my dreams are my business, but after seeing things on friend face, about Walker taking down UW, my home away from home when I was merely an "aspiring" college student, (i.e. high school in a nearby town) this is what I dreamed.
I had a college classroom, as a teacher, without books. I had a hard time figuring out what I was supposed to be teaching, something about "literature in expression".
So, I went around interviewing students to see what they had to offer. It was time for finals, and I didn't know what to test them on.
Then, a whole bunch of new students popped up, and I told them they'd have to re-enroll for next semester. I even told the same information to my youngest grandchild, and because she's only two, I explained it to her by saying, the "next time frame".
I felt like a failure, a teacher in training, and didn't realize the problem was having no books in the first place.

Apprehensiveness (B&N Writers Impromptu)
The flavor was a blend of cherries and pomegranate. She knew that both were excellent nutritionally, which is why she'd bought it at the Stop-n-Go and placed it in her cooler in her backpack.
However, if the flavor was off-putting, despite its nutritional superiority, it would be a wasted purchase.
She also had some house-brand Greek Yogurt available, which she had seen toddlers "upchuck". But she thought either flavor could enhance the vanilla-based yogurt. And she was an adult, after all. So, she would handle the possibly bad combined flavor as an adult.
Yes, she would not react as a baby would. First, she would combine the pomegranate with the yogurt. Then, she would try the cherry with another batch of yogurt, as well.
She would be brave, because she could not face the possible fact that all three purchases could have been a dire mistake.
So, with hesitation, she placed the vanilla yogurt in a plastic container. Then, she mixed in the pomegranate, with its juicy seeds. She'd forgotten about the crunchy seeds that stuck in her teeth. For awhile, she'd bought pomegranate yogurt to avoid the seeds and the bitterness. But alas, those pomegranate-flavored yogurt containers were no longer on the shelves.
She didn't want to be lacking in pomegranate. She knew it was good for her, but she didn't know why. She'd forgotten.
So, after mixing the ingredients carefully, she braced herself...for a first...spoonful.
