I haven't any set article quite polished yet, so this is what you get.

Mainly I will just use this as a place to keep my writings and such from school. No, rather my writings in response to the ideas I encounter at school. They will most often not be in agreement with what school is trying to brainwash me into thinking. Mainly they will be in response to something my English TA has said about the "brotherhood of man" and how we're all responsible for each other's well being and how people cannot rise above their means. All of it is BS. I'm responsible for myself and that's it. I do not see why I should be concerned about others.
Call me selfish, I don't care. That's how it is. People can rise above their means if they see fit. It is up to them and whether or not they decide to use their mind to get ahead in the world. If they choose to listen to everyone else, then so be it. They will get nowhere in life. If they live by what their mind tells them, that they will rise above, but they will only go so far as their abilities allow.
And this turned out to be more than I expected.

I will be interested in reading more of your articles.

I can't imagine anyone saying that people can not raise above their means. That is just silly! To be successful in life, you don't even have to be that intelligent. But! You have to be ambitious and driven. If you set a goal for yourself and never give up on it, then your only option is to succeed.

It's the function of schoolign to brainwash.

It's a person's own challenge to keep their focus and not succum.
