When did you realize how important education was?

real talk, define education. Cuz I learned more helpful shyt outside of school than in it.

Everything from 9th grade up and outside learning.

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.

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



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.
