I could have been somebody if I hadnt screwed up my life so many years ago. Is it my fault or society?
As a child, I had a great family life, then there was the car accident, that paralyzed my father, and after all the stress, my family broke up and parents went seperate ways. So I come from this broken home, my parents fighting over who gets to keep me. Im going to several diffent schools 11 by the time i was a senior. Who can make sence of there life or what they wanna be when they grow up being moved all over the country. I was 3.87 GPA student never missed school until my sophmeore year in high school.
Thats when my life went from looking great acedmically to the dumps. I started skipping class,. I still kept my GPA butt I lost interest in sitting in the classroom. I told my teachers how i felt, asked them for my assignments and I would do them at home, they were cool with it,as long as my grades didnt slip. Well they did eventually because i stopped doing them or giving a crap. I wanted to hang out with friends, smoke, drink play cards. I dont know what happened, I just fell off the bus, and noone bothered to help me back on. NOt my teachers, not my family nobody. Its like i fell into the cracks. Well I didnt graduate, i was missing 2 credits . tI didnt go back to high school. It took me 9 years to go and get my GED. Which i passed without studying with flying colors. So I knew I was smart. Well I worked dozens of dead end jobs that got me nowhere, I married an idiot and now imn going through a divorce, working at 8.60 an hour(doing something I love however), im 1000's of dollars in debt. And now im trying to go back to school to make something out of my life. Im 25 years old and dont know what i want to be! I enrolled into school today im going to take general classes for now. Maybe i will prove society wrong that its never to late to make something out of your life!

Well maybe your screenname here is a hint that you are "going to be somebody". Things happen, just give yourself the chance to turn things around!

Mind Control is Easier Than You Think
Everyone has a different path. It doesn't matter how you got here; you are here. You are back in school, which can only do good things for you! And this is not just some patronizing BS from someone who has no idea what you're talking about...
I too "screwed up my life." I used to beat myself up about it. But now I'm in my mid thirties, back in school, and I couldn't be happier. I spent a lot of time in therapy figuring out how to let all the bad from the past go and move on with my life. I used to feel like i missed out on my twenties and that I hadn't done anything right, so I wasn't ever going to get back on track. I have learned that I was very wrong!
I wish you all the best in school and with getting back on track. Make sure you take time to feel good about yourself!
