34 minutes agoRealizing I hated it and was just doing it to appease my parents. It just happened suddenly in one of my classes and it was like a weight lifted thinking about going to do something else. Left and started my career and love what I do every day. Been almost 30 years and I don’t regret it at all. Maybe I’ll go back to school someday, but with prices what they are now, probably not unless my employer pays for it.
We were always late to our class after lunch and the teacher was fed up with it, so gave us before school detention. Thing was, we otherwise were on good terms with him and did well in class, so detention was sitting around and watching part of a movie of our choosing. I think it was more a show for the class that we weren’t favored (which we absolutely were).
We still weren’t on time after that, but never got detention again. Moved on to the next grade and a different teacher for that subject the next year.
