My emotional crossroads was a couple years ago. I lived with my sister and had a part time job, went to high school. Eventually my part time job offered me full time, which of course had me in a pickle between full time or finish school. I found that the school I was attending was not for me and I would do online school and work full time. Soon after dropping out and enrolling in online school I kind of just dropped schooling all together. I dropped out of online school and put all my focus on my job. Worst decision ever. I lost that job. Never make friends with your bosses daughter who wants your job.
Anyways, every day I wish I could of graduated with my class, I wish I didn’t ever have that job because they fucked me over bad and put me in a 2 year rut of being unemployed and a high school dropout. Everyone tells me I can “just get my GED” it’s not a matter of “just getting” back on track, it’s a matter of satisfying myself. I want to get my high school diploma more than anything, even if my life is pretty well on track now. I don’t want to have the fact that I never finished high school, the easiest part of life, hanging over my head.
Currently I’m back in online school, working a different full time job and it takes up almost all my time. I wish I never did this to myself, but that’s life, trial and error.
