Yes, I agree and understand. My childhood screwed me up, but I still love my country. I believe that 7 forms of intelligence are in vogue, and often its like a stereo equalizer and people are high in some and low in others. My sister was a drama teacher that switched to IN English and Film for health reasons, drama requires too much after school and nights, but she has little common sense and lives filthy, also poor personal hygiene.

I dropped out at 14, but hadn't done much in school since Elementary, took the ASFAB at 19 trying to go into the military, but was turned down because of the lazy eye from daddy pooching mommy. They sent me to a specialist, and the recruiter told me AFTER I returned we wanted you bad your score was 1 in 1,000. At 26 I tool the GED without studying, at 30 I took the state aptitude test at my lawyers request, after an industrial accident. Results were Programmer or Bank president (I'm smart about my money, but not on working a good job), then at 32 I took the ACT test and was awarded a 2+2 Honors scholarship, the school doesn't get the money if no student qualifies, I just wanted computer classes. I doubt I'd have been able to remain in Honors, but had a 3.47 average over 37 credits of class.

Sorry to toot my horn, but I have tried to help people to avoid ruining their lives as I did, and share stories from my life to illustrate. Once in a blue moon I get through to someone, and I feel good about it. I'm definitely a broken thing, but not completely.
