[quote=Anonymous]Actually, this was me. I knew within like two days of classes starting that I couldn't hack it. I couldn't do "school" and "life" all at the same time. I slowly failed out of every class that semester with the exception of gym (self defense) and came home that December the week after my beloved grandmother dropped dead at the start of finals week. I don't think I even bothered taking any of my finals. I immediately enrolled in a class at the local community college for their 3-week winter session which I failed. I think tried to get jobs, which I got fired from - one at a retail clothing store, and one at a furniture store. I was not clear exactly why I got fired.  I basically was failing at life.

I got a job working as a teacher's aide in the school district I'd gone through, and after about a year, re-enrolled at community college, never taking more than three classes at a time, max. I got a job at the financial aid office. Eventually my father insisted I get a full time job, so I got one as a receptionist in an office, and switched to doing classes at night. It took me five years from when I graduated from HS to when I graduated with an associate's degree. School is not for me. [/quote]
