I dropped out in the 10th grade after proving I could handle college level school work and subjects.
I’m not even the smawt one in the family
My niece and nephew also dropped out in 10th grade.
They are in their 5th year of medical school and both just received their white coats...
I dropped out of school at 15. Was a stoner. I ended up becoming a lawyer with 2 degrees. No shame in not doing well in early schooling. Certainly not a guide to a successful life or career.
