Oh no I don't think Sojo has seen my thread yet. I'm getting the feeling though from your tone, that I may have just put my head on the block hahaha. I shall prepare for the worst.
As to your other question.
The thing that motivated me the most was my own failure, let me explain. After I had finished school and went to college I was all prepared and ready. But after a few months at college, I found myself to be bunking off time, and hating it. Sure enough the grades I got were poor, and at that time I really didn't care for some sad reason.
Soon after my dad had a serious talk with me, and after that time I realised how much of a fool I had been, and that I embrassed myself and my family. So after that I was determined to get my life back on track after wasting my own life. Sure enough I went back to college, did my Diploma, got top grades, and made so many new friends. I was so proud, as was everyone I knew, and since then I have always looked back at that awful time, and said to myself that you can always do things, as long as you put your mind into it, and work hard, and I'm sure you will come out with a great end result.
You're a great inspirartion kiddo, wish my oldest would get her head wrapped around the value of a good education
If and when you have children will you be the kind of parent who will allow them to learn by their mistakes or will you ensure they do NOT make mistakes??
