I graduated HS in 1999 with a 2.0 GPA. I thought I knew everything there was to know and decided college wasn't an option for me. I worked odd jobs for 1.5 years and then realized that I was never going to amount to anything unless I got my act into gear and went to college.

I started college in Summer 2000 and will hopefully graduate this December. Would I change anything? Yes I should have been more diligent in school and would have graduated in 1998 instead of 1999. I should have started college right away and would be in graduate school by now. Do I regret those decisions, no because I have learnt a lot from taking that 1.5 years off.
