Probation because of the lousy grades those first three semesters

When I went back to school after flunking out it was in a summer session. At the end of the summer I received two letters from the Dean of Pure and Applied Science.

Letter number one congratulated me on being on the deans lists.

Letter number two reminded me that I was still on probation from 5 years prior due to the fact that summer school was not a factor in removing academic probation. That one gave me a good laugh. I was serious about school then.

I never graduated from high school or had a GED and still went to college. I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps and was required to test in.

I did not graduate because I had the wrong class credits. I also had terrible grades because I worked nearly forty hours a week in high school. Had to help pay the bills at home as my step dad was 70% paralyzed and a diabetic.

It also didn’t help that I thought most of my teachers were idiots. Even then I was a staunch republican. I loved Reagan’s policies and my teachers didn’t.

I didn't get on academic probation, but spend my whole career on social probation. I was out of town with the team, when they put my frat on social and they never took me off. I only found out near graduation.
