The crowed cheered and so did I at first. After I thought about it, I wrote this.
There are several major problem with this event. One of them was the amount. It was for $130,000. Why does it take $130,000 to get a college degree? If the child cannot win a contest at a sporting event and do not have parent that can pay $130,000 or if the child cannot get it some other way, then they don't get to graduate from college? If I had had to come up with that much money, I would not have the education I have now and would not have the ability to write this so you could read it.
Then there is the contest. There are two girls competing for the scholarship. There are two large Pepsi cans. One for each girl. At the top of each can there is a large hole. The object of the contest is that the first girl to throw three footballs through their hole gets $130,000. Within about 60 seconds one girl succeeded, the crowed roared and a very large check was given to the girl. If you want to go to college. All you have to do is to be the first one to throw 3 footballs through a hole to pay for a college education. Think about the message they are sending.
