“There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.”- Zig Ziglar. In the book The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt Holling Hoodhoods (the central character in this novel) dad does not want Heather (Hollings sister) to go to college. I think everyone needs and should go to college. Many people say this today, and multitudes of people are homeless because of this. It’s like Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world.”
