My son went to UCONN as an undergrad, and then on to law school. He graduated with low honors from UCONN, and then with high honors from Quinnipiac Law. After the graduation ceremony from law school, he and I were chatting and I asked him why he didn't work as hard at UCONN as he did at Quinnipiac. His answer: "You paid for my undergrad studies, and I paid for law school, so I thought it really important to work as hard as I could. After all, I way paying the whole thing." I told him that if I had figured that out while he was in college, he would have been paying for the everything from that day forward. All I got out of him was a wry smile.
