I decided that I was going to finish high school and get into college no matter what it took. I managed to graduate HS and actually got accepted to a great university which I also managed to graduate from with a BS degree. My point is that we can all do anything we put our minds to if we truly try our best.
Hi Cranky:

We have lots of similarities!

I left the Borg and my home when I was 16 too - I too worked in a fast food outlet to support myself, and I too knew that education was the key to living and independent life, and I was determined beyond anything else to finish highschool and get into university.

I graduated University with a Bachelors degree that I achieved having supported myself entirely, and I now have a man that is the light of my life too.

Truly we can do anything we put our minds to, and that we are willing to stick with until it's achieved image
