I have read quite a few good post's here!, evidently, Bigtim is'nt reading them, proof is in his follow-up post's. Young man, what people are telling you, you need to take to heart. Go back and read what you have written, not once have you tried to correct any spelling, sentence strucure or grammer.
My advice, since it seam's school is'nt just quite your thing, why don't you join the military, there are many programs in the military that can help you with your problems, main one is to mature and become a grown-up adult. Once you get your problems straightened out, you can continue your higher education while you serve.
I'm not telling you this to be mean!, I'm telling you this through personal experience, myself, I sucked in school, I did'nt have dislexia or anything like that, I was just pure lazy. While serving in the Marine Corps, I started to learn what education was, I'm not talking about math or science, I'm talking about the ability to comunicate, the understanding of basic english. The ability of writing a sentence, a paragraph, or a paper. Lets say, instead of asking about the quality of a DPMS SASS compared to a Remington R25, lets ask, if while in a fire-fight, my weapon jams, upon clearring it, it double feeds, what is the proper method to clear the weapon, to get back in the fight. Your answer; Take TH magizin outa gunpul hanel bac le go seral timews untel gun clers. What the hell are you going to do at this point, other than probably get killed. A better responce to receive; put the safety on, remove magazine, pull charging handle to the rear several times to clear the jam, once the jam is cleared, lock the bolt to the rear, incert the magazine, release the bolt and hit the forward assist, disengage the safety and get back in the fight.
Being enthusiastic about guns, bows, hunting or what-ever is fine, but being a responsible adult is much more important to serve in ones life, an understanding of education is the first, best step. Myself, through understanding this at a younger age, I now, at the age of 46, own my own bussiness, even with this shi*ty economy, am still keeping it together. I beleive I owe this to the lessons I learned while I served. Semper Fi, Always Faithfull, it continues after the Marine Corps, part of the meaning to me is, always faithful to God, Country, and most of all, Myself.
Now I'm not saying just the Marine Corps is the only option, not everyone is cut out to be a Marine, but the Army, Navy and the Airforce will also instill some dicipline in ones life, hell, the Airforce offers the best educational options available.
Well, you can take this advice or leave it, the only one you have to satisfy is yourself, you just need to dig down and ask yourself, am I bettering my life the route Im taking, or, can I use some help, learn a little discipline, become a mature adult.
By the way, this still does'nt come easy to me, I still have to proof-read what I write. I keep a dictionary handy to check my spelling, make sure my sentences have structure and can be understood. Sometimes I still get lazy and blerb out some lines without checking myself, and yes, all to often get corrected, but the fact of the matter, it makes me do the right thing and proof-read befor I hit the submit button. Just my .02 worth.
