Gotta brag on myself

Published

I was a LOUSY student in high school (graduated way back in 1990). My grade point average was terribly low and I just didn't care at the time. A few months ago I was diagnosed with ADHD and have been on medication every since, not only am I feeling better mentally it carries over to my life in general making me happier, easier to be around etc.

Well...I just finished my college finals last week and check my grades online yesterday and I am now a 4.0 student. I was so surprised!!! I went from a low 1.7 G.P.A. in high school to a college 4.0.

Anyone else want to share any stories like mine. It's so encouraging to read about others who overcame obstacles in life and came out on top.

great job! my story is similar to yours. i think that once we mature we truly see and understand the importance of education. i am all for waiting a year or a few after high school to go to college.
