When I was in 12th grade, right before they kicked me out of school, the principal told me that I wasn’t college material and that I should go and learn a trade. That guy is now superintendent of all the schools in the county. I went to college on money that I won in a lawsuit against a woman who hit me with a truck. Now I’m like all buddy buddy with a bunch of people who can really help me to get money and have a job that’s easy and doesn’t hurt my back.
I went to a medical school for awhile and had to drop out because of my poor sentencing and because of my terrible understanding of mathmatics.
( If you don’t know mathmatics in a industrial society too well you might as well consider yourself royally screwed.)
Smears, I am not in this situation because I haven’t tried hard enough. I am in my situation because of circumstance.
When I went to school I studied math everyday when school let out for three hours in a four year period and still I couldn’t grasp mathmatics throughout my after school studying. Add on that when I was younger I was put in a juvenile school for three years where I was kicked out of public schooling for awhile which seriously damaged my education in more ways then one which ironically at the same time the county school board called this juvenile setting a big help in the community where I grew up in.
I was lucky enough just to graduate highschool in all the muck that I have been through, Smears.
Unlike many people here I didn’t come from your typical happy place growing up filled with cheer.
Dude the only reason I’m still in college now is because I have to take a core math class. I remember when I was so little that my mom had to carry me when we went to wait in line for cheese and peanut butter. I’ve been to jail three times. Circumstances can be a bitch, but you gotta find a way to be at peace with the world by knowing that you can get what you want. I dunno man. 50 grand isn’t that much these days. Rather than leave the country, you might consider moving to Alabama. It’s like a different world here. Intolerance is the hallmark of the south. You might just like it.
You should go to Belize. I know a guy who has a house there that he lives in 3 months out of every year. There’s no running water or electricity. He loves that shit, and I think it’s cheap as hell.
