I just want to show the world it's never too late to get your diploma, and show kids they should stay in school and not wait until you're old to get it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18, so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first.
A diploma only proves that you know how to look up answers.
I'm at the age most people are sending their kids off to college.
Each year, I say I'm going to go to school next year. It's inevitable that I'll end up getting my education.
Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It's about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.
If you learn late, you pass it on to people so they can learn early. It's a step process.
Even when I was a kid, I always showed up late for school every day. It got to the point where they had my late slips filled for every day of the school year in advance, so all they had to do was fill in what time I got there.
I did regret not graduating high school, but I made a point of going back and getting my GED later. It was important for my kids.
I'm from a family of teachers. My father would drown me in the bathtub if my daughter didn't graduate from college. I don't care who she is or what she does. Just get the diploma.
When you have a brilliant idea, nobody is going to ask to see your diploma.
