I never dropped out, but I skipped most of grade 10/11, in grade 12 I decided to crack down and finished all of my grade 10/11 and 12 in one year in alternative class rooms. I also took the ace-it program for autobody repair. I didn't enjoy doing autobody repair, I prefer to only work on my own car, I dropped the program and didn't graduate highschool. I just finished Eng 12 and I'm starting douglas college for the criminology program. I'm starting post secondary two years late but I can't say I am too bummed about it. In my two years off , I traveled, made good money (bought a brand new car) and matured enough to see what I want to do in life without building student loans trying to find myself. Recently I was offered a position at my part time job, to make around 55k a year, even though its good money, it didn't seem like a career for me. I will be doing 2 years of school to meet the requirements to join the VPD, and then take a position making 55k a year till I get accepted in the VDP. I do regret not being all there in school but I am pleased with the outcome so far.
