Have you ever skipped a lot of school/work and still manage to succeed in life?

I found out that their was a no fail policy in my junior high and I skipped 88 days of school in grade 7. I had played NES Nintendo from dusk to dawn and was too tired to go to school so I got dressed and waited for the school bus and then walked back in the back door with my key and went back to sleep. Maybe if I hadn’t skipped so much school I would know the difference between their and there. I checked out in junior and high school until the last year and I did all my old homework assignments and read the Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms series and made it to Camrose Lutheran university with 1% to spare 60% average minimum. I’m feeling better on Fluther because I get to write as practice for the school I missed.
