It's hard for me to sit here and wish that I had graduated considering how things turned out but that's more of me being a lucky asshole than proof I made the right choice. I didn't drop out to become an actor and I didn't drop out to follow a dream so I don't want to romanticize that idea, you know? I dropped out because I felt like school was suffocating me. I had never done well, never done well with sitting there and being told to be quiet and I just knew that in the future I'd never have a desk job or continue my education because while I like to learn I just don't do well with schedules or a strict curriculum. I think the education system's kind of fucked anyway so for me to sit there for a few more months and take tests that I knew would never help me or read books that I didn't find interesting or learn math that I would never use seemed like a waste of time. Don't get me wrong, I think that learning is important and that we never should stop learning but I just don't think the way that America teaches kids is the best option. So I left school because someone presented me with a better option and I was tired of feeling like I had to do something that was making me miserable just because it was what was expected of me.

That being said going forward with your decision I think you just have to look at what's best for you. What worked for me doesn't work for everyone. Do I think I made a mistake? No, but if I hadn't become an actor and found something I loved would I still think that? I know I wouldn't think it was a mistake but would you think I had? Would my mom? (actually, I was tempted to answer this with a quick 'yes graduate, because your mom will bring it up every time you see her' but then I started rambling). So, basically, just be confident in your decision knowing that you'll be confident in it regardless of the outcome.
