Ok,it's late and had a LONG day so prepare for the typos and horrible english!!!!!!!

Anywho,had huge debate today with a highschool graduate about weather or not somone who drops out and lives a not so perfect lifestyle could be just as capable and intlectual.He said no I said yes.I am a high school drop out,im 18 and have a 6 month old child.He said i couldnt be as smart or productive as he.I felt so much pitty for him.Does he not know a few cenitors and people who run our government have g.e.ds and some never finished middle school?Are they not smart and drivin to be where they are at?And me,I'm not claiming to be a genious but if it wernt for homework i would have had perfect A's no problem(except math...i suck at math)He then went on to tell me that i lied about my reason for dropping out as a way to cover up my stupidity.I droped out because a math teacher passed me and i did nothing in his class,i droped out because kids in my classroom would throw desks at people and could not read past a 5th grade level,i droped out because there were no real classrooms because of construction...plaese tell me what i would have acomplished if i had stayed in that environment???I've learned more math in my G.E.D class then in school and i dont need school to fill my academic needs so why should i stay.I could get my G.E.D and be in college with my friends or sit around and learn nothing and get a meaningless diploma.

Ok..im rambling...Anyway,speaking of G.E.D class i get to bring my son tomorrow yay lol.Also i get to go to the vet to look on and take notes.Anyway im done typing for now...
