Hmm..

My family moved a lot, parents divorced, yadda yadda. Eventually had to move again when I was 14 to a very small backwards ass town. Hard to make friends since everything was so racially divided. So I became a real loner then. I don't really regret that, but I went from being a top scorer to just not giving a fuck anymore about school. That's mistake one.

When I was 16 I got arrested, and did 4 months in Juvie. I had to go to an alternative school as a result because I had a felony. But since I was in CPC(college prep) classes, basically that semester in alternative school was a waste, plus the time I spent in Juvie. Then I had to take a whole extra course load to graduate with my class, but I managed that. Was a big relief. Juvie & not doing well enough in HS, mistake two.

Went to college, broke up with my gf briefly (she brought it up), at which point she fucked someone else from our school like a couple days later. We got back together and she told me about it, and I was pretty furious for probably 6 months to a year. Just a nagging resentment or whatever. I passed up too many sex opportunities back in my teens, and that shit happens. That's mistake three & four (break up, and passing up).

I did horrible in college (was aimless), and just left. I should've joined the military but I stayed with my girl. During that time I was some hermit bastard for a year back with my dad, and she almost left me. May have fooled around on me, don't know. She's admitted to some things, but after the college breakup thing, she knew better to admit to sleeping with someone else. Mistake five and six. (college fuck up, and lazying around, not joining military)

At 20 or so I went to community college for a year, then my dad wanted me to work so I quit school and worked at a state prison for a year. Evidently that was good enough (I never missed work), and I was able to go back to community college. Finished that at 23. Got my Associates in computer networking, got several industry certifications. So no fuck ups there, just could've done a bit better in school. By this time my relationship is going great.

Now I'm back in university, had a rough time adjusting to it, but I prevailed. I've managed to turn my life around, I'm overall happy. Just a few years behind. I turn 24 this fall. I'd say the last 2 years have been good.

I would say though, fucking up has kinda shaped me as a person, but damn, I could've done better.
 
Wasted 2 years doing Finance as my major instead of Human Resources because my dad was constantly in my ear about "pay" and job opportunities. Well my marks suffered as I never felt the drive to go to class. I missed quite a few classes and barely passed the core classes that I needed in order to be a part of business school. I even forgot that there was a midterm in one of my core finance classes. I just showed up and was greeted with test sheet worth 30% of my mark. I squeaked by thank god, but that was the breaking point.

After seeing my lack of drive and terrible marks (I believe I finished with a B average but some of my marks were C's that average out in my favor because of me doing well in the classes I liked) I decided that I wanted to do what I wanted in school. My dad was not so happy but meh...I have to do the job at hand for the rest of my life.

In the end I had to do an extra year of classes and signing my ass up for summer and night school but I completed what I wanted to do...

Now on to finding a HR job in this economy:lol
