I mean, sure, he's the son of a celebrity, but you're right: why are they telling us how much money P. Diddy has?? And why are we all so into giving musicians and sports players such big scholarships? You practically have to be a grandmaster to get one in chess.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-16528460014746677672012-06-02T10:53:57.830-05:002012-06-02T10:53:57.830-05:00whew... sorry about the long-windedness, but this ...whew... sorry about the long-windedness, but this topic really caught hold of me.Ahermitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246307693236606434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-88324317850344249492012-06-02T10:52:46.878-05:002012-06-02T10:52:46.878-05:00P. Diddy, a.ka. Puff Daddy, a.k.a Puffy, A.K.A Sea...P. Diddy, a.ka. Puff Daddy, a.k.a Puffy, A.K.A Sean Combs he has a few more names... I guess he fancies himself like Prince, or rather the artist formerly known as... <br /><br />But I digress. <br /><br />My family is not poor either. We are not rich either, just what we like to call comfortable. Interestingly enough, my son received merit scholarships based on his grades. They also told him he would get art scholarships, but the amount would not be divulged until after we did FAFSA. When they finished pointing and laughing as we don't qualify, they gave him a small gesture because we did not NEED scholarship. <br /><br />The difference I gather, is that Bitty Diddy's scholarship is in sports which is given much more regard than Art... plus Diddy probably told them to kiss it when they told him to fill out the FAFSA. <br /><br />Anyway, while on paper, we look like we don't need the scholarship money, we do. The economy had hurt out investments badly, and we have lost our college funds and home equity. This means college will come out of the same paycheck as the mortgage... it can only go so far. <br /><br />Soooo... I guess I am saying, that the kid's scholarship is between him and the school. How would these kids feel if their parents income was blasted all over the papers and they were judged based on it. <br /><br />Finally, it is a good thing that this kid is on scholarship. This way he will be obliged to get good grades or lose it. What Daddy ditty should do is let him know that if he loses the scholarship, he does not go to school... and he loses the fancy cars too. Accountability is a good thing.Ahermitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246307693236606434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-89873904597350746872012-06-01T18:41:46.786-05:002012-06-01T18:41:46.786-05:00Okay, I totally SPIT out my tea reading Bitty P.
