Ayu is so classy it hurts! >_<;

It makes me so happy that she stood up for people who didn't finish high school. My own father didn't finish high school and he now makes a lot of money working with the government defending our country, enough money to put me (and my 5 other siblings) through college. I also know people who graduated from college and have been unemployed for YEARS afterwards. Having a higher education doesn't guarantee you success. My dad always says to me it's not about what you know, it's about who you know. You can have all the talent and skill in the world but sometimes if you have no one to vouch for it, it's incredibly hard to get a job. (Which is why so many college now have career programs to help you get a job after graduation). In this case, Ayu had Max Matsuura and he helped turn her into a success. She is by no means "unintelligent" because she dropped out of high school. She was smart enough to know what she did and did not want in life when so many of us follow society rules that say you HAVE to have a higher education to be a success. She knew that was not for her and it worked out in her benefit. Nothing wrong with that at all.
