Did you take school seriously?

When you were at school, did you just want to get it over and done with, or did you stop for a second at some point and think to your self "Am i doing the right thing, is what i am doing now going to effect the rest of my life?" If you did something wrong at school, would you want to go back in time and fix you mistakes and study harder or are you happy with your dicisions?

I didn't take school seriously at all. I was always in trouble, made no effort in most subjects and just barely scraped through High School. I have never responded well to "insitutional learning" and to be honest spent most of my time in classes bored out of my skull! I have ended up doing just fine though but I do wish I had of taken my education a little more seriously! It's never to late to learn though and one day I may just go and study again. Who knows!

I didn't think of anything while I was in school. From Grade 1 - 5 I hated school and often wondered why everyone has to go to school? But from Grade 6 I started enjoying playing with my friends. When I came to my Ordinery and Advance Level Loved to studdy and those days were my best days in school. No regrets.

I didn't choose my course in college, my parents did. I never liked to be a Physical Therapist. I wanted to be a Surgeon or a mass communication student. But even though I didn't like my course I still manage to do good in school with flying colors. I've always wanted my parents to be proud of me no matter what. And I know if I took that course, it would make them really happy. So I did! I'm lucky enough to be blessed with intelligence and I managed to go through college smoothly with no flaking subjects.

I took school almost too seriously. I over-thought everything. And even now, I think back to mistakes that I made, and regrets that I still have, and the face that I can't change any of that now. I wish I HAD stopped for a second to think to myself about what I really want. But, I still don't regret the experience. I just wish that I had done some things differently. So, I would like to tell everybody to REALLY be sure about what you want, and how you go about it.
