Do you remember college when ramen was a delicacy and also
all you could afford? I do. This was back when you could push cars out of
ditches with no backache the next day. This was probably when I should have
learned how to exercise instead of now, when I am way older.
We’ve tried to do better with our kids. We’ve paid for team
sports and karate lessons. We supervise bike rides and hikes—all of the healthy
stuff. But when they go to college, we stop.
This is my oldest
daughter, Emily. She wanted to do cross fit, even though the membership to the
cross fit gym was pretty darn expensive, so she found a way, turning
babysitting for the gym into a membership. Unfortunately, her friends couldn’t
do the same so she went through miles of paperwork and meetings at her college to
get cross fit accepted as a student program. Now it is and the kids need
start-up money for some equipment.
If you can even spare one dollar, I assure you it will be
appreciated more than you know. Students will be able to do the new, cool,
workout. They’ll blow off stress and be happier and healthier. I know that
college takes (or took) a heck of a lot of your money. But these kids just want
to be healthy. They’re not the athletes who have trainers and paid
scholarships. They’re regular kids getting degrees in computers and business.
They don’t have the frills.
