I can not begin to explain the importance of this video.
βΎ
From the day we are put into school, the amount of pressure (which turns into stress) that is placed on us to conform and do 'what we are supposed to' is insane.
βΎ
I wasn't dumb and am not dumb by any means, but I was made to feel like I was, because of the things I HAD to do in school.
School, just isn't for some people, and that is ok.
I know that for me, that pressure built up through the years and made me feel inadequate. By the time I got to the end of year 10, I was told by a teacher that I would be nothing in life and I would be driving a garbage truck at the age of 30.
How do you think a 16 year old, who is already feeling lost and below average would react to that?
Not very well, I'll tell you that much.

If you are going through the schooling system at the moment or have children, friends or family that are struggling through these same feelings, PLEASE show them this video and this post.

- I dropped out of school.
- Was told I would be nothing.
- Was pushed into believing that the only way to 'succeed' is University
-Thought my life was over
When in reality it hadn't even started.
I am now:
- Doing something that I love
- Feeling like the world is my oyster
- Helping people be the best they can be
- Not doing some University degree that I will never use just for the sake of it
AND most importantly, HAPPIER THAN EVER.

Success is a mindset.
If you want it bad enough, it's yours for the taking.
DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE.
