Well, I guess I screwed the pooch on this!!!?

Well, my fellow humans, here’s where it ends. I am a Junior in high school, and I only have 9 credits. My language arts teacher talked to me, and she is also the teacher for a thing called FLEX, a thing where not so up to par students such as myself go when there is no hope left in high school. Does anyone know what it is? Some of my friends are in it, but i don’t really talk to them anymore. My grades are ****, and it really seems like all of my motivation left me years ago. So I hope it’s something not bad. I want my diploma, but I know that’s probably never going to happen. But if anyone knows what it is, let me know. I live in Joplin Missouri if that helps. Thanks.

You’re headed for an entire lifetime of misery, welfare, and unemployment. Nobody can make you successful if you don’t want it bad enough to at least TRY. You can’t blame anybody else for you situation because you did it “Your Way”. If you were running a business, would you hire a guy with your attitude and lack of motivation? The good news is, it’s never too late to get an education. It’s never too late to make something respectable of yourself, and it’s never too late to learn from your past errors in judgment and turn yourself around. The only thing is, you have to want it bad enough to put forth a reasonable effort. You can see where your past decisions have put you, if you want the same result in the future, do nothing different, and nothing will change. If you want a different result, you have to change how you live your life, your attitudes, your priorities, and set some goals for yourself. No one can do this for you. Teachers, parents, and friends have been trying to do it for years, and they have failed. News Flash: “Change comes from within”. You think the girls want to go out with a loser?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? How about 10 or 20 years? You can’t live on mommy & daddy’s couch, and eat out of their fridge for the next 60 years. Do you see yourself married and having a family later in life? ..and just what kind of a woman do you think is attracted to a grown man who doesn’t give a crap about life, having a job, or making something of himself? You think a good fairy with a magic wand is going to appear and make everything wonderful? Nope. That’s not how it works.
Listen, I only had a high school diploma when I started life 43 years ago, but I had one thing you don’t have: drive. The determination to HAVE the good life that my parents could not afford. I applied myself, took advantage of what the world offered, and I retired for the first time at age 38. In addition to traveling the world ( 40 countries ), I married a great girl, raised a family and have all the “toys” anyone could ask for. I retired the second time at age 62, and am currently 12 years into a third career. I own a 6 bedroom house, three 4×4 trucks, and can afford to do whatever I want. I didn’t get to this place in my life by “not giving a crap”, and neither will you. I stepped over those guys, surrounded myself with professionals, and worked my way to the top.
The very definition of “insanity” is: doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. Who do YOU want to be in 30 years? What are you going to do to differently to achieve that position? Start now to live a life with a purpose and a goal…or continue your current ways, and be exactly what you have already decided to become…
