"The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen."                                                                                 --Frank Loyd Wright                                                                             

Been there, done that...

 

Have you ever...

  • had a teacher, parent or somebody else tell you that school is just not for you and that you should probably go ahead and just get a job?  
  • had friends tell you, "Man, school is not cool. You can't get respect from going to school."?
  • been involved with drugs, alcohol or gangs and they stopped you from being you, from making something of your life? 
  • been so busy with kids, work and bills and trying to make ends meet? 
  • quit school, because you're different and nobody understands?
  • quit school, because you feel you don't have enough freedom and you're not being treated like an adult?
  • felt down and discouraged, because life is too hard?
