I thought I hated school as well, that’s why I did HVAC instead of college. Among other issues that hindered my ability to go to college, I just didn’t ever think I was smart enough.

What changed that for me was when I was invited by my friend to tour her college campus, I didn’t think much of it, but as I walked into the library, I suddenly felt tears come on to no end. The envy I felt wasn’t malicious in the slight, but I longed to learn again. I now know I am smart enough.
