I feel like I would make use of it more if I could do it again. Maybe that’s weird, I don’t know.

Edit; To ask more of a question. What would you do differently?

    Yes. I was wrongly diagnosed with a learning disability. Any failure meant the program was necessary. Any success meant the program was working. One time of many, I was actually told “you might be depressed if you fail in the regular classes.” Well, staying in the remedial classes only made me depressed anyway. At least if I did fail they’re, it would actually be my own failure I’m living with.

    Now, I’m just trying to get through an online high school so I can bypass community college. I tried CC before, but the “Cs get degrees” attitude I got from the teacher reminded me too much of the remedial classes.

    Going back, I would push harder for better classes and if they still refused, just go anyway or transfer. Nothing is worst then living up to their expectations.

      It’s hard but worthwhile swallowing one’s pride to check the necessary boxes that allow opportunity. Equally important is not to be dissuaded by watching others get by ‘the easy way’, their impact on your life will be fleeting looking back.

        ? That’s a bunch of assumptions. Why do you assume I haven’t found opportunity or success? Just not along the high school diploma path.

        What does this even mean?
