Bad Lessons Learned in School

GOING TO COLLEGE

September 08, 2005
Everyone told me that if I didn't get good grades then I wouldn't get into the "smart classes," then in high school I wouldn't get into the advanced classes and then I wouldn't be able to qualify for any college worth going to. That would make me an unsuccessful loser. But there are plenty of successful people today who didn't put "their all" into school back then. I'm not saying you shouldn't be educated. I'm a firm believer that you should always continue to learn, but my friend said it best: "College is for people who know what they want to be. If you don't, why waste years on getting the degree that you aren't going to use?" [Heidi King]
