My Education: An Untraditional Route
</p>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="two_third">
<div class="medium-text">
Since I had discovered a passion for what I do today, much early on in life, I found school to be an extreme distraction for me growing up. For an entire 17 years of being in school (which is a REALLY long time), you’d think that you’d have the opportunity to learn a lot more about something that interests you, but that wasn’t the case for me. I was OK until Hurricane Katrina happened in 2005.
</div>
<br>
<p>After Hurricane Katrina, it took me away from my circle of friends in school and I started thinking a little more independently. Having to play catch-up with the four different schools I was transfererd to and not caring about what I was being taught (because I was interested in learning more about computers), adjusting to school after Hurricane Katrina became extremely challenging. Approximately two years later, at the age of 16, I decided to take an untraditional approach towards my education.</p>
<blockquote>I’ll never forget the day I woke up and told my mother I wasn’t going to school anymore and that she could punish me forever for all I care. I had enough of the BS.</blockquote>
<p>Surprisingly, my mother expressed a lot of interest in the “why”, rather than just forcing me to follow the traditional method. After bringing some counselors over and having a pretty in-depth discussion with them and my mother, she agreed to allow me to pursue my GED.</p>
<blockquote>And this is when I finally started enjoying my life and became even more passionate about my future.</blockquote>
<p>After passing my GED in two months, I immediately started college at <a class="story-text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Technical_College" target="_blank">Louisiana Technical College</a> (no longer exists) in Baton Rouge the following semester. I was 16 years old in a class full of adults, finally learning more about technology. I was in heaven!</p>
