Cosby to Atlanta Seniors: Get a Goal
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bill Cosby’s words to Atlanta high school students probably won’t make the national headlines his speeches have made in the past. But he did hammer home some worthwhile points about wringing an education out of whatever community you live in. He urged kids who think they can’t afford college to enroll in community college or learn a high-paying trade.
“If you don’t have the money, you work for it,” Cosby said. “Every person in this room with no goals, here is your goal. Find one. Go to a community college. Learn how to fix an escalator for $65 an hour.”
