one: a complement


This week, California College kids, caffeinated with youthful rebellion coalesced in protest over the increasing unavailability of college education.
In a campus coffee shop, someone staged a much less dramatic demonstration.
In America where, 1 in 5 women suffer from an eating disorder,
15% of anorexics are men,
90% of both are between 12 and 25,
and the dieting industry brings in $50billion annually;
Anorexia is the third leading life-ending disease among adolescents.
If bodies were built like mannequins, they couldn’t reproduce.
Here is a bold reminder that admission has no price,
Though showing up for class isn’t always easy.
