Summary

This quote suggests that parents typically make the decision to send their children to college based on their own experiences. Those who have attended college themselves tend to value higher education and believe it is beneficial for their children's future prospects. On the other hand, parents who did not attend college might view it as an opportunity they missed out on and are therefore motivated to ensure their children have that opportunity. Thus, the quote highlights how personal experiences shape parental decisions regarding their children's education.

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.
