Responsibility

Some of our students will play the blame game by purchasing textbooks they don’t need and enrolling in classes not on their degree plan. They don’t graduate on time. And guess what? It’s all, my fault 
I hear:
·         This class fit better in my work schedule, than that one’.
·         ‘I’m a junior, and my advisor told me to take an upper level elective - so this 5000 level course won’t work?’
·         ‘My friend at another college told me something different.’ 
·         The prof told me blah, blah, blah’.
It is so nice to see certain people taking responsibility for their actions.  "I'm embarrassed. Of course I am," Jones said after the Cowboys' 35-17 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday afternoon. "And, to every fan, I should have and do take the ultimate, ultimate responsibility. I do. That's the way we're structured. That's the way I run it. There's no question that I have the plan and executing it to have the best players and the best coaching that we can have…  I'm very, very, very sorry to our fans. You should have better than this”. http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/news/story?id=5750167

Even if you are not an NFL fan, we should all take note: and not blame others and take responsibility for your actions.
