This is a topic that has practically bothered me for almost my entire life. My entire school career I noticed something. People do not know the difference between knowledge and intelligence.
I will be open about this. I was a failure in school. In my entire school career, my highest reported average was never higher than 60%. Many times I failed most of my subjects. As a result, my teachers thought I was stupid, and never took my opinion seriously. The thing is, when you go-on like this for so many years, you start to believe it.
Now, I was never pro for school. I was against the concept since 8th grade. The only reason I stuck things through was because my parent's wanted me to at least finish.
Why am I telling you this?
Well, it has been on my mind for so many years, and until I actually came across this platform, I have never been able to openly-speak about what is in my head.
So here is my opinion. School has absolutely nothing to do with a person's intelligence. When ever my peers were studying there school work, I was studying personal development.. Truly expanding my mind, instead of learning things that will only give you a cool number. I see this as being very similar to have fake followers on social media. They are just a number, with no value.
Obviously, back then it was always a popularity contest. The ones who always got the best marks, and my 'smarty pants' peers always thought they were wise-asses outside the classroom, just because they got a higher percentage-number on a piece of paper.
For that very reason, I honestly despised my school career. No one could ever understand what was happening in my head. Whenever I used to talk to the girls in my class, they got lost in my words, and ended-up ignoring me. It was a very frustrating time in my life.
I am not afraid to take a stand (Eminem :P) for the things I feel strongly about anymore. I believe in transparency, and if you know everything about me, then there shouldn't be too many unanswered questions at a later stage.
There is a reason I am not studying at university right now. I made the decision already in the middle of high school, that I will not study anything for some piece of paper. I do not need a few words on a page to tell others I know what I am talking about. I will rather let my real words speak for themselves.
Of course, this is no offense to anyone who is currently studying. Go for it! :)
