I often regret that I didn't go to college. I mean, I still can, but not like it's supposed to happen. I dropped out of high-school. I was a loser for a while. Then I jumped into the workworld head first. It seems I'll be working everyday for the rest of my life.
I would've loved to graduate high-school, then get a scholarship and go off to a far-away college. There are some things in life that I will never experience. Each day I find myself getting older and older. The things you hear are true. One day, you just wake up and it's all over. You're 65, on the edge of retirement from the 9 to 5, haven't accomplished anything in your lifetime. I don't want that to happen.
See, I have big dreams, but I don't exactly know how to go about doing these things. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. And it seems that I'm just waiting around for something to happen. Something's gotta give. But I need to do something. I know I can't wait for something to happen at work. I've been sipping the corporate Kool-Aid for a while now, and I'm getting sucked in. I don't want to wake up in 20 years and still be working for the same company, at the same store, in the same position, with only moderate increases in pay. I've got bigger dreams than that.

Then lets have coffee sometime. I can help you get started with going back to school. I'm a pro at this. :-)
What do you want to do?
So do it.
I've been researching attending UNLV. Perhaps in the fall. I need to check out some of these scholarship and grant things.
