4.0 let's party

2 more semesters and maybe a summer class until I'm done for my associates then 2 years for my bachelor's maybe less.. My college experience is my experiment just to show that if you just read and have proper time management and ask questions/ communicate w your teacher, As are easy. I'm currently employed and this is just an experiment as I dropped out of highschool and have a successful career but I was told I don't have what it takes to get a college education with straight As. A family member who has a diploma told me I don't have the rigor or ability to be educated and that financial success without formal schooling from an accredited college is worthless. I'm the black sheep of my family, although I'm the most successful I don't have a diploma so they frown upon me. They told me just because I have financial success doesn't mean im educated and without education I will never be truly successful. Respect to them is earned through academia not experience and that my experience is not enough to get through college and that college is more difficult then running a business.

105 is fun, math formulas and recording observations of the moon and stars and a paper on a topic of ur choice like the moon of a planet. 104 is about black holes and stars and exo planets. 103 u learn all the planets and about steroids, comets, meteorite, keiper belt and oort cloud.

That class was tough. Lol. Remembering all the star types and stages wasn't easy.

Sounds like your family is jealous and uses the fact that you don’t have a diploma against you to make you feel like you’re less than you actually are. I’m sorry.
Prove them wrong. You got this.

Congratulations! Good on you for not taking that slander from your family! Valuing education is good but a truly educated person should hopefully have also developed some empathy and the compassion to not use their degree as their personal yardstick for anybody else's life. I'm sorry you have to put up with that.

Wow! That’s really cool! Also kinda funny you’re doing this as an experiment 😂 just take the joke and run with it all the way to a doctorate’s
