Wow. What Proof of Work you have on this topic! What strength of character you must have to have managed yourself in that system! 💪🏽
I personally went through the public school system and knew it didn’t recognise my strengths , autonomy & desires so I chose to put my son in a Rudolph Steiner School, as Steiner’s theories and approaches to children is incredible to me! But alas, my son came home complaining of the same things I did when I was his age. He was only enjoying lunch break when he could run and play outside.
So I listened.
When my year 12 of high school approached all my classmates were excited about their next steps. And it dawned on me that I had wasted years of my life applying zero effort in class and my grades reflected that.
All I wanted to do was travel but no one was doing that back in the early nineties in my small country community. I felt horrifyingly lost, aimless and ashamed.
Thats when and why I picked up a substance habit - my self worth took a huge hit.
Luckily I managed to kick it three years later and found my way to purpose and meaning in my life.
What interesting lives we have all led @ Sachin
