Personal Revelation
I woke up the other day and instantly my mind was going a mile a minute. I still haven't figured out why but it did make me think about things. So I woke up thinking to myself "I am 23 years old, I live with my mother again, and I have done nothing with my life." This is a hell of a thing to come to a realization about. All my life I was always the guy that was tutoring all my friends (even grades higher than mine) because I was always able to grasp and understand things beyond most people. I take that back, not everything but math and science I ran circles around most people. I was always in the advanced/honors classes. My big problem was never intelligence, it was motivation, or my lack of it. I dont know how many time I had a teacher take me off to the side and say "Brent, you are probably the brightest student I have ever had. Why wont you do your work?" I never really had an answer for that and now I wish I would have just listened. It makes you feel like complete shit on the verge of useless when pretty much my best friend since 8th grade is now graduating with a degree in mechanical engineering. Oh yeah, did I mention that I used to also tutor her? Yeah. Afterwards, and through the whole day, I kept contemplating what I can do to change my situation. Here is the conclusion that I have come to. First, I need to get back to school. Every day that I feel as if my intelligence is gradually slipping away bit by bit. Personally I think the schools in florida are shit, anyone who disagrees I am sorry but oh well. So I need to get my black ass back up to good old Michigan. Unfortunately, my highschool performance would never allow me to be able to go directly to a university and get accepted. The only thing I have going for me was a phenomenal ACT score. I am going to have to start somewhere like Henry Ford, get my AA, and then see if I can get in UofM or something, preferably UofM. GO BLUE. So the plan comes down to this. Stay living here for 6 months or so, rent free, so I can save some cash to make the move easier and to pay for a semester or two hopefully. Then by January I should be able to come up assuming that I am going to be able to find a place, a job (maybe two), and any assistance that anyone can give me in my endeavor is greatly appreciated. So, yeah, that is the plan. Im looking, if everything goes well, to be graduation by the time Im 28-29 with a bachelors atleast. Just everyone, keep an ear out for anyone renting out a room or some sort of decent job. I just want to be back up by my bday, which is january 22 for those who dont know. ok you know the drill, questions or comments, leave em. adios
