i nailed a 3.9 CUM LAUDE G.P.A.! and i am GAWD DAMN PROUD OF IT! and i did it late in life while working 60 hours a week! and had no mommy/daddy/rich uncle/nobody to pay for it except ME!
i will NEVER FORGET the night i met with my guidance counselor, and went over all my transcripts, and got the VERY SAD news of how many classes i had to take to graduate. walked outside, looked at stars and said to my self "how in hells feeking name will i be able to do this?"
i went 3 years to regis college(jesuit) in denver. snow skied for the college, partied my azz off, got laid mucho times/damn near got expelled for numerous stunts numerous times. then went to u/a chasing my high school sweetie(really dumb move) did u/a tucson for a year, then did a semester at pima c.c. and then my mom died at end of semester, and went to work at garrett corp working 7-12 hour days straight on swing and grave and finally days.
and then got dee-vorced and went back to school and had my azz handed to me in SPADES financially/mentally.
BUT I DID IT! and i was NEVER SO GAWD DAMN PROUD TO WALK W/MY PURPLE CUM LAUDE 3.9 G.P.A. sash and blue gown at NAU -flagstaff.
i had NO LIFE! while going to school. work /school/and very little sleep if any. i was a walking gawd damn zombee! how i did it i will NEVER KNOW! HARDEST DAMN THING I HAVE EVAR DONE and I AM GAWD DAMN PROUD OF IT!
and every stinking whipper snapper that applies for a job here and says he has a degree......................I DO A BACKGROUND CHECK! PERIOD!
i lost out on a damn good job years ago, that i was 100% qualified for, all because i did NOT have a degree. and that hurt a hell of ALOT! this was after 4 flights to L.A. to interview at their corp. H.Q. and this lil wet behind the ears H.R. gal dropped the bomb on me. it sucked royal purple donkey richards and IT HURT ALOT!
so.......................with that in mind.................dont think for a pico second guys or gals who have fought tooth and nail, lived off of freeking tuna and cheese crisps, DONT LOOK AT YOUR FREEKING GAWD DAMN G.P.A!
proudest thing i have EVAR DONE and i have done some WILD AZZ POO over the years and hung my azz out there in space quite a few times!
i would go back in an INSTANT to get my MASTERS!
