i kinda like being in high school. i mean i hate the work and almost every single teacher. plus my parents pay for everything. they say if i'm not able to keep up with my work and have a job, then they'll pay everything for me.

but my dad told me that you don't have to have a highschool education. he dropped out in his eleventh grade year. he started a lawn service business. in the lawn community all of here in the US, he's one of the most known. he now owns his own business fixing and selling the things. he's not rich, but he's well off.

then there is my sister. she quit in her eleventh grade, too. she got her GED. she doesn't have a job. she has not even a dime in her bank account. she's 23 and has to live at home. she can't take care of herself. she sometimes thinks she's still 21. my mom drives and picks her up at parties... cuz she can't own a car.

my mom graduated high school and went to college at night to be a real estate agent, but she's not since we moved here from Albany. she works with my dad owning the business.

so there are the upsides and downsides of quitting. just depends on your ambition, what my dad always says.
