| Wow it's been a while..Hello? Does anyone even read this? Guess i'm just kind of curious to
see how everyone is doing. Has everyone graduated from college? Working
in a field that pursues their passion?
Well i'm still here in Houston...
I am a drop out. Yes I am a college drop out. I made a 4.0 the semester I decided to leave the world of academia.
I now make $50/hour with bonuses and pursuing my dream, a silly pipe dream that I won't know if it will come true.
There's a negative stigma associated with college dropouts, they're seen as outcasts, lepers in the Biblical times.
So if you were offered a good job and school actually was detrimental to your cashflow, would you drop out?
Well... I did. The worst part is I still don't know if I regret it or not.
I believe if you do what makes you happy it doesn't matter what anyone says or thinks...
I've been lying to my parents.. they still think i'm going to school. I
am about to move out I think, checking out the apartment today and to
be honest I am scared. Petrified.
What if I fail then i'd be a loser in life. Going back to school paying
5k a semester plus living costs, I couldn't see myself doing that
again. I already failed once in my business ventures, thank goodness I
was living at home and had little financial responsiblities. As of
right now i'm saving up the capital to open something else..
If I move out then i'm basically saying I quit school and it's official.
The last of my friends graduate this semester.. A bittersweet feeling.
I'm happy for all of them, especially my brother who just graduated
from UH last fall.. but is school really for me. There's so much on my
mind lately.
Usually I never worry about anything, but i've been contemplating for a while now..
Maybe I should pray to God, I haven't done that in a long time. Or maybe...
