when i was in high school.. i wasn't thinking about college..it was thinking about working chrysler or ford like my dad and uncle, but they said go get a education cause my parents don't have college degrees so i went on to college.....

it's been a blessing and a curse... it was a blessing for finding work and curse of paying back loans which i will never finish paying off

Not in HS and I really should have.
I was always smart but too smart for my own good.
I figured out ways to do just enough to get by.
My senior year I only needed to pass 3 of my classes with a C so that's all I did. I failed my other classes because I didn't need them to graduate.

That nerdy ass kid who was taking a computer class while going extra hard in math class every year since 5th grade ain't laughin at that. :ufdup:

Y'all gonna be laughin at school education when your child bring home all Fs talkin about "school is bullshyt"? :lupe:



Y'all gonna be laughin when your straight F kid ain't doin shyt in life but the kids who was takin school seriously going to MIT, Stanford, Morehouse, Howard, or getting a good job straight outta HS?

the summer after 10th grade. I had a summer job filling vending machines around baltimore/baltimore county and by august the guy I worked with had a stroke... at the age of 48... and was basically screwed for life because all he knew was manual labor. Still feel for him.

Too late. I was a complete fck up during grade school, dropped out, was careless. Thankfully i was able to dig myself out of that hole a by getting in to IT. Now have a decent career but had i known the value of education earlier, skys the limit.
