A Father, Daughter Chat
- From: Morgan

Description:
This is well said…
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing ?"
She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over."
Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, " Welcome to the Republican party." - Blog post

Hi Everyone!
My name is Ashley and I am the Director of International Trips for Leaders Today ( www.leade rstoday.com ) and Free The Children ( www.freet hechildren.com ).
Free The Childrenis the largest network of children helping children through education. Through schoolbuilding, alternative income and clean water and health care programs, youth action supports rural communities in Kenya, Sierra Leone, China or Sri Lanka to help some of the most marginalized children and their families meet their basic human needs while freeing them from poverty and exploitation.
To date, we have built more than 450 schools in sixteen developing countries that provide education for more than 40,000 children every single day. Our alternative income projects have directly benefited more than 22,500 women and their families in Africa, Asia and Latin America. We have shipped more than $11 million US ($12 million Cdn) in essential medical supplies and built health care clinics in Asia, Latin America and Africa that benefit more than 505,000 people. We have helped 132,000 people gain access to clean water sources, improved sanitation and school latrines.
Through this holistic development model, we work in collaboration with local communities to develop the adequate education and resources they need, empowering them to achieve sustainable incomes to break the cycle of poverty and free children from working in hazardous conditions.
LeadersTo day, our sister organization, is committed to providing young people with the insipration and experiences they need to create chage. We host international volunteer trips for youth and adults, universities and corporate entities alike, tovolunteer and experience first hand the challenges of their peer overseas. It's a great way to explore a new culture while to creating positive change on a local and global level.
