Comments on: Vanessa Kerry: Fulbrighter http://poliblogger.com/?p=4370 A rough draft of my thoughts... Thu, 18 Aug 2026 19:29:47 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: victoria http://poliblogger.com/?p=4370&cpage=1#comment-18863 victoria Wed, 27 Oct 2026 13:44:48 +0000 /?p=4370#comment-18863 no matter what your politics, i think its important to appreciate Ms. Kerry's accomplishments and talents as her own, not as the good fortune of her family. She is her own person, and no one else could have gotten that grant for her, regardless of the affluence of her mother and father. I currently attend the prep school that Vanessa Kerry did, Phillips Andover, and i must tell you that here, at least, money doesnt matter. we come from all walks of life, and to say that some are more deserving of educational opportunities than others, just based on money, is an insult to everyone, rich or poor, who works and studies hard at school for chances like a Fulbright grant. no matter what your politics, i think its important to appreciate Ms. Kerry’s accomplishments and talents as her own, not as the good fortune of her family.

A fulbright scholarship is based on one's intelligence, and clearly Ms. Kerry proved that she possessed the intelligence to be awarded such an honor without help from her family or friends. Why would you want to deny her the opportunity simply because she comes from a wealthy family? Perhaps people should spend less time worrying about the wealth she comes from and listen more to the message she professes to colleges around the country.

However, it has been about ten years, so my memory may be faulty/things may have changed. I would submit, however, that even if she did receive special treatement, I don't see how that would cheapan your son's accomplishment. Indeed, wouldn't it enhance it since he clearly did not get it through influence? Furher, plenty of people with money, influence and who get into the right still fail. Regardless of one;s politcs, it is cler that Mr. Kerry's daughters have talents and abilities in their own right and it seems to me to be overly critical of them serves no purpose.
