I was a great student in elementary school. It paid to be, as my dad doled out the beatings even in a good mood. I had a lot of amazing teachers that really cared, and that helped my development a lot as things were pretty tough at home, and we were dirt poor. In addition to being in all AP classes, I was a very talented violinist and stood out in science. In HS I did very well for the first couple of years, then I started having sex. That was the beginning of the end, I started fucking everything I could, and started to smoke a lot. I started selling weed, and made some pretty good money, better than my friends with after school jobs. I met my first wife in junior year, and we got married to escape our tyrannical fathers and oppressive home lives. She was a very talented classical singer and pianist, and our moms agreed to legally emancipate us (our parents were no longer responsible for us) so that we could get married at 16. That was a trip; we were popular and everyone always wanted to come over to our apartment to fuck, drink, smoke and play video games. I attended school infrequently, and when I did go the teachers felt that I was a disruption to the other kids. I was a music major, and my orchestra director finally asked me not to come back. That hurt like hell, very irresponsible for a grown man to ask that of a teenager. So, I dropped out. We played music on the street for income, we made more than we would have at minimum wage jobs in only a few hours per day. I did apply to colleges at 18, and received a full scholarship to a fine musical university. I did very well there, but near the end of my first year, my dean came to me to say they found out that I never received my HS diploma. We decided to keep that on the QT, as that fact would have voided my scholarship. I went to take my GED immediately, and aced it without study or problem. My dean backdated it and we breathed a sigh of relief, he was an awesome dude. My wife and I were supposed to switch every two years, she'd was supposed to go to school while I worked and supported her, but that would have also voided my grants, so I selfishly stayed in school while she went on working. I did start a music company which became very successful at 20, but us young kids couldn't salvage the marriage and we divorced. I did well through university, and received a BS in music performance and a minor in computer programming. I went on to get my BS in programming. Acedemics have always been pretty easy for me, but I don't enjoy classes with others. I've taken many other classes since, all online. TL;DR, right? Where did all this get me? Growing and selling weed

Feel free to drop out of school, kids...
