not leaving high school for a GED and college my sophomore year was the biggest mistake I ever made. I'm never getting those two years back. I'm also not getting the 10 years of college back either. I taught myself what I do for a living and very little of my education led to where I am today. Intellectual curiosity is what created the text books we spoon feed our kids and is the most important trait that can be fostered in them. It will put food on their tables and advance the human race beyond where it is today. I just try to keep this in perspective while raising my two daughters.
