I couldn't do it. As over-educated as I am today, I never graduated high school. I just couldn't bring myself to do the work or bother to show up, or really care much about what I was doing. And while I watched many of my friends graduate, and even go off to college, All of that was beyond me. It was never even an option.
So when I congratulate someone for graduating, I really mean it. You worked hard. You accomplished something not everybody is cut out for. Be proud of that. I largely taught myself, which of course was most of the problem. Luckily I had Katie Uhler and Bridget E Kelly who went out of their way to point me in the right direction when I was ready to Adult.
