Hey Taco...

Here is your subject!!  :).  I was a terrible high school student..  struggled,  failed,  skipped school because I hated it.  Now I did get through high school... barely and thought.... ""Man, if I never see another book, I will be sooooo happy."

Then,  after about 13 years,  several of my friends had decided to  go to college... and I just debated...  Should I?  Shouldn't I?

After a long time considering it...I decided to try it.  But I just became obsessed with not making the same mistake I made in high school, besides I was having to spend my own big bucks for it. I studied hours upon hours, sometimes never going to bed.  If I made a 92 or 91 on a paper, I went out of my mind... I needed 100 on everything.

My first semester I took a full load... not really understanding what a challenge that was going to be for me....  but when it came time for grades.....  I had an A in all five classes.   After that,  I kept going to college... not wanting any grade lower than an A.   That did not happen...  but in my 4 years of college I made 3 Bs and 37 A's nothing lower. I stayed posted on the Dean's List and  I graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Science degree in Science Education.

In that 4 years of college I really learned alot about myself.   I was not smarter in college than in high school...  I just taught myself the right motivation and gave it my 100% to succeed.

So that is my experience.  Hope it is helpful.
