I had a good time at school. I wasn't the best at it. I took metal shop and wood shop classes a couple years, but also had to meet the requisites and number of credits. Well, I failed an advanced math class, and that really set me back. It was a required class, and my teacher wad a really poor teacher, coupled with the fact that I just didn't get it. I had talked to the counselor about switching to a different teacher that would help me more, and he said I would do fine. I kept sliding, kept asking him to switch me, and then I failed it. Retaking it the next year with a different teacher helped me pass it, but took away half a year's worth of an elective class. I kept my GPA around 3.25, which I guess was ok. I never did any sports, because I always worked in High School, and would have rather been on the farm. I also didn't have parents that could afford to buy me anything I wanted like a lot of the jocks, so I had to work to buy it myself. My senior year I was able to gain special permission to take 2 classes a day, half a day each, all year, both off campus. I was caught up with all of my required classes and credits, and since I had done ok, they allowed me to take these classes. One was at General Motors and was a manufacturing processes and manufacturing problem solving class, the other was a heavy equipment operation and repair introduction class at a heavy equipment dealer I ended up working my way into a job at shortly after starting the class. I felt I probably missed out on the most fun year of my High School years, not being with my peers I had spent 12 years with, but it turned out ok. During my senior year, I took the 2 off campus classes in Lansing, got done with that at about 3:00, stayed there working for the dealer doing odd jobs until about 7 pm, then went to the local community college after that until around 10:30 pm each night. That year was pretty hectic, until I graduated. I used racing otorcycles to ease my mind and soul. Once I graduated, that immediately dropped 1/3 of my daily operations. Then it was working from 7-7, and going to the college classes after that for the next couple years. I guess all that helped me realize what I really wanted to do, helped me learn a ton and shape my future, and put me in the job I have now. I missed that last year of high school, but I guess I did ok
