To the point. Well said.

....Alex, my Dad said he would never let me fail. My parents did encourage my interests, but ultimately I flourished when I was outside my comfort zone and left alone to persevere. I beleive the things you want will come in all due time. Don't rush it. Your life is but a blip in comparison to what you have yet to experiece. Don't be too rough on yourself either. I can tell you I have had one storeyed life to get where I am now. You want it bad enough? I know your working and going to school. Thats all you can ask of yourself. If it is any consolation you have way more electric stuff than I would have or could have imagined at that age! Maybe times were simpler when I was your age. I just didn't really think of all these things, Hell I guess I was too busy trying to get the attention of some girl. That and I only made $5.00 Per hour so there was just no chance for a plane or HER.
Keep your head up.



.................you coming to work tommorro?
