    The most important thing my dad did to help me get into a good college was repeatedly tell me the story about his father having to leave school at 13 to go down to the coal mines.

        One of my dad's favorite sayings was "If you don't learn to work with your head, I'm going to make sure you know what it feels like to work with your back." He wasn't joking, either...The man would work me half to death if I didn't perform well scholastically.

        People who have actually done awful jobs or lived in awful neighborhoods are snobby as hell about getting out of them.

        My dad told me he learned the value of a college education the summer he spent working in a steel mill.

        My father walked barefoot to school and picked cotton. Times were tough in Texas back in the late 30's. I love my Dad for all he has done for me.

        I worked construction jobs for my dad. That provided all the encouragement I needed to get my butt into college.

        If you think this cheating scandal or the sentiments of baseballcranks' tweet is just relegated to "Hollywood Elitists," then you haven't been paying attention at all.
