i've long considered going back for a masters degree, but the cost is prohibitive. i'm looking for inspiration. |
I dropped out of school for various reasons and mostly it was because I was a dumb kid who thought I was too smart for schoo. Well, I went and did
roofing for 2 years and learned that the real world isn't easy, at all. So, after saving up money and building a desire to better myself, I gave my
two weeks notice and decided to go back to school. A couple weeks later I went and got my GED and took a placement test at CCP. Thus far I've done
good in my collegiate career, I have a 4.0 GPA and am in the Liberal Arts Honors program, when I graduate I plan to attend Temple through the dual
admissions program. I am determined to be the first person in my family to graduate college.

Roofing is hell on Earth, and I've been in combat zones.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

Yeah during the winter it's colder than a witch's tit up there all day and during the summer...well you know. You make great money but it's at a
price. I mean while I was working I was jacked as hell but I figured out that I wasn't trying to do that when I'm 40-50...I've seen 35yr olds who
look 60 from the constant beatdown from the sun.

good for you, Siczine, congratulations.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.
