I made a mess out of school when I was young, didn't wanted to learn or anything. I started early with working, and got my bachelor degree when I was 35. (I''m now 44). And despite of that I don't think I wanted to do different. Learning late helped me a lot boths ways. I had a lot of experience so learned and got my grades easy and I do have the thought I had fun at school when I was younger :). It turned out great, I have a good job, nice home, nice car anything. But most of all my family, all the other is nice but relative. I have two beautiful son's and a sweet and gorgious wife, so everything turned out fine. What I do miss sometimes is the freedom of school, just hanging out with friends, chillin, being totally free. If I look at the schoollife of my kids, it's just great and I try to tell them every time, enjoy it to the fullest.. before you know it you are eat-work-sleep- repeat :)
Have a great day !!
