[quote=Anonymous]I failed out. I was failing all my classes - they were all too hard. The only class I passed was gym. Came home. I immediately tried to take a three-week winter session class at the local community college and failed that. My father then insisted I get a full time job. I worked customer service in a furniture company. Then I got sick (quit the job) for several months throughout the spring and summer and wound up having to re-learn how to walk. Then I got a job as a substitute teacher's aide (part time). Took one class at the community college. Finally passed it. Got a full time job as a receptionist. Took classes part time at night. Spent five years getting my associates degree. By that time I had a job as a legal secretary at a law firm. 25+ years later, I am still a legal secretary. School nearly killed me. I'm just not cut out for learning that way. [/quote]
