I was always a lousy student. But 1st semester freshman year I attained a 2.8 GPA which was really good for me.
Then I started smoking weed 2nd semester freshman year and my GPA went down to like a 2.0.
I dropped out of high school twice cuz I was smoking so much weed and it had such a negative effect on me.
Voices used to tell me to leave school. I would have been 16 years old.
I’m sure some people knew what was going on with me besides the marijuana abuse, but nobody said anything. Actually I had one counselor who pulled me aside one day before I had the chance to leave school and asked if I had voices telling me to ditch school.
I lied cuz I was frightened of what would happen. And my parents were too wrapped up with their careers and sitting on the couch drinking alcohol at night to do any real ‘parenting.’
Yes. Education is #1. Even if you can only pull a 2.8 GPA
