I did not graduate high school with Honors, and now I have a Doctorate from an Ivy League University, and I'm happy.

I did not graduate high school with honors, I procrastinated until the end of each semester, and I got by with minimal effort. I had tons of fun though. I later went to a second tier university, where again, I barely got by with minimal effort and graduated with a B.S. in Journalism.<br><br>I later got my M.B.A. from a Top 10 business school and an M.A. in Organizational Behavior from a Top 10 university. I graduated with Honors.<br><br>Then I got a Ph.D. from an Ivy League university, and graduated with Honors.<br><br>I was never book smart, I had to work hard for everything I earned in life. I have a fulfilling career, friends and a family.<br><br>I learned that it's not where you finish, but that you finish. Struggle at first, work hard, and never give up. Make the most of your time in school, because the opportunities you have in college don't last forever.<br><br>Best, and happy studying!
