It is a question I think many young people would have to honestly answer with no. But middle agers, you folks ain’t off the hook here either. Let us ponder that question today and ask what it would mean to actually be prepared for life and discover if we are even close to teaching our young people that today.
What does prepared for life mean, I think it would differ based on who you ask but here is what it basically means to me. If you are prepared for life you can not just function but thrive no matter the conditions around you. You can adapt, think on your feet and learn what ever you need to learn. You can take risks and be okay with failure because you know how to mitigate risks. That is a short summary, but it indeed is prepared for life.
Based on that definition we are not preparing our youth for life and have not been doing so for a long time. This includes my own generation and prior.

Desirable Pecan Trees produce early in the season, and the shell is medium to soft. The Desirable pecan tree is perfect as a commercial orchard tree, as to be used as a shade tree, and excellent to buy as a yard tree.
