    As children, our parents shape our ideas and opinions. When I was a child I thought Texas A&M was the only university my parents would let me attend based on the way they talked about it.

This world is competitive; we must compete for acceptance in society, as Thomas Malfus asserted in his 1798 essay, “The Principle of Population”. We must also compete for an education, and ultimately a career, which allows us to survive in our current society.
