People who leave high school at 9th grade statistically don't have very good prospects. My last year of school was the 9th grade. I got my GED at 20 (like I walked in off the street and took the tests with no prep or anything), went to college and earned a bachelors in computer science fairly easily. There's always going to be outliers to any case. People who pull off crazy things that only 1 out of 10, 1 out of 100, maybe 1 out of 1,000 could possible do if things went just so for them. Also good for you to recognize some of your advantages and maybe learning better habits from successful people. Not everyone is able to break the cycle and circumstances they're born into. And in either of our cases it's probably wise to be mindful how one event, major enough, could leave us in ruins.
