High school was not a very happy time for me and it was not a very happy time for a lot of people, and I think it was caused by the way the school and the other students treated me. I did not had a chance to meet many new people and I did not have a chance to spread my wings like the other students. I tried to do something in high school, but I got marked down by other students that have an attitude and that the teachers and parents made a big deal about. I was seen as not the brightest student in high school and I prevented me from figuring out who I am and what I am truly good at. That's why I have trouble finding a career.
I was actually in the special education classes like a lot of other students with learning disabilities. I had problems with reading and math, and I couldn't be in many mainstream classes. I am also limited with the classes I can take for electives since they think I am very limited and I am not the brightest person. For example, music. I was in the band and the choir, and I know I can play very good, but people treated me like I was dumb and didn't let me do anything. Being dumb doesn't mean you are dumb at everything; everyone is dumb at some things and smart at other things. I heard of some of the dumbest drips could play a guitar or sing pretty good. I heard about some people that are not the brightest bulbs are actors, actresses, and even the President. I don't think we had a very intelligent president since Ronald Reagon. George W. Bush was dumb and so is our current President Obama is borderline retarded. Bill Clinton was not the swiftest guy out there but he was better than the other two. Jimmy Carter was an idiot - he has been said to be extremely intelligent but he is basically one of the dumbest people out there to hit the whitehouse.
You don't have to be dumb and be dumb all your life. Being dumb does not mean you are going to be sweeping floors at McDonalds and living with your parents until you are 40, but there are many intelligent people that are doing this because of the current economic position. Look at Forest Gump - he is dumb but he has a lot of common sense, especially with the army. Just say "sir yes sir". I am dumb in some areas and some areas I am very bright in. Everyone is.
True dumbness is rare and true intelligent is rare. Look at Einstein - brightest man alive. Einstein was smart with physics and that stuff, but he doesn't even know how to style his hair. Sometimes dumb people are smarter than the "smart people". Dumb people will just hang around with anyone - they don't judge people. They live one day at a time. They don't worry about many things. Most dumb people are friendly - smart people tend to be very prejudiced. Hitler thought he was very intelligent but he was DUMB!
But this college deal is to discover that I am smart at that certain thing. Everyone is smart at something.
