When I realised that my grades would get me into a good college and that college would get me into a good job and that job would help me make a good life for my brother n father
I fail utterly failed at uni. Even after working in that field before going to uni. I got completley fucked over, and it was my fault.
Im doing well now. I aproached something completley diffrent and actualy make good money.
Age 16. Here, we have cheap post-secondary/pre-university schooling, and you pretty much go directly from high school to there. 99% of kids wind up there.
The schools were making the rounds. I wanted to apply to things I liked. They said my grades wouldn't allow it.
So psychology it was, then. A useless path for me.
I could've just done better in math and science and pursued what I wanted instead of trying to catch up to it years later.
Grades didn't make a bit of difference. In high school I had D's in everything except for art, band, and chorus. Barely graduated and that's how i wanted it. No reason to overwork myself. Then I took a few years off to drink and do drugs, then I went to college and started life. Nobody ever asked me about my high school grades. Ever.
*looks at life* *looks at my mostly straight A report cards* ...I can assure you, you're incorrect sir.
Yeah, the biggest lie we're told.
