I took six months off, finished high school, and hung out with friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It ended up taking eight years to finish college because I got deployed and went overseas.
Growing up in high school, I wasn't hanging out with friends every day or on the weekends. Doing normal high school kid things was something I was willing to give up.
I went to high school, which was a good thing because I hadn't interacted with many people my age, and I didn't really have friends. I had a million acquaintances and no friends.
I'm a 27-year-old freshman, and returning to college after a seven-year break from high school was by far the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
After I saved some money, I quit work and went to a local college.
I left home to go to college, and then I moved back home. I moved back for three years from 21 to 24.
I dropped out of high school. I really had no interest in doing any school work whatsoever.
I dropped out of high school four times between the ages of 12 to 17.
I dropped out of high school three days into my senior year because I hated it because New York City public school is a mess. I certainly wasn't one for sitting in a classroom. Then I went off to college to North Carolina School of the Arts, then quit that after two years.
I basically took six or seven years off, but then I had another five or four of me not working at all because I was in school. It was really 13 years of me not working at all... I really couldn't even think about it.
