It’s interesting because I was a shit student in high school. Graduated, went to community college, transferred to a 4 year university, graduated, got jobs, and now I’m saving up to buy property someday. I’m 25. It didn’t feel that hard to do 😂. Just make good decisions.

As a guy who has taken the path of most resistance, It's really not that hard if you are somewhat competent in finishing school, if you're older and working FT and taking 4 classes it's hard and sucks but if an ounce of effort is put towards it, you can get by with C's and get a degree and go forth.
Oh well Doesn't matter, I want to leave this shithole big city, and get a job w/ an American company and actually get paid real money not these BS dollaridoos.

Bad teachers and bad parenting can hold someone back though.

I know someone who was worried they wouldn't graduate high school because a certain teacher seemed to have it in for them and didn't want to pass them for some reason. I never heard the teacher's side of the story though.

Eh, I don't know about that. Based on my own experience if a student is a real problem, the teachers are more tempted to pass them just to get them the hell out of their hair.

I have seen some that get petty and vindictive, but it's usually fucking up their GPA so they can't get into AP/get scholarships or they have to go to summer school -- never not graduate.

PSA: neither attitude is the correct one to take...although I do understand the first one (the rumors are true; right before the start of a semester that was me, kneeling and praying "please, pluuuuleeeeze Jesus, I don't want to see X in my class again, please!")

Just make good decisions.

There are plenty of homeless people who made "nearly" all the "right" decisions.

The difference between a millionaire and a homeless beggar is one or two partially less "good" decisions. Life is like a chaotic attractor

Not sure i believe that. I have some family that has made a lifelong habit of shit decision and they have never been on the streets homeless.

To become homeless and stay there for any length of time takes drug addiction or mental illness.

I don't believe this at all. Imo it takes hundreds of decisions good or bad, maybe more. Life is literally what you make of it, and if you are a literal homeless bum with no hope because you're so fucked now... you made a shit ton of really terrible obviously-bad decisions.
