UN-SCHOOLED

Good Wednesday morning, afternoon, evening, wherever you may be, and thank you kindly for stopping by! I am, as I've mentioned before, by no means an expert on the subject of conscious creation, I too, am learning as I go and continue to be a work in progress, but I'll have to admit that the more I move forward, the more I realize that everything I've known before was not serving me at all. With everything that was taught to me, especially in my school years, I can now see why I dropped out of high school. Before I continue I just want to make clear that I am not encouraging anyone reading this article to drop out of school, this is purely from my own personal experience and what knowledge I'VE gained from it. Every thing was fine until junior high school, I loved elementary school because most of the time the class would create and make things, we'd paint, mold clay, do gift exchanges, candy and treats were handed out daily to the class, math and the alphabet were sung, rewards were handed out for best conduct and the most creative student, all sorts of good stuff happening in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. By the 4th grade I had to begin learning about history, more complicated mathematics, and spelling, then by the fifth grade current events, politics, and historical figures past and present, plus even more unimportant history because it was the bicentennial year of 1977, there was a bunch of hype around it at the time. During the 5th grade there were ''assignments'' and homework that took away the fun that used to exist in elementary school, by then my interest began to wane with school. By the 6th grade I hated going to school, and it would be almost three more years of losing interest [skipping school] in all things education, only to finally drop out at the beginning of my ninth year. Looking back, I didn't need to know everything they were teaching me and I have no regret for leaving, everything that school taught me was counter productive to everything I know now, nothing they taught me from 4th grade on has benefited nor resonated with me in any way, all I've learned from the so-called ''education system'' is that you have to attend school every day, then you must finish [graduate] high school, then you must go to college and graduate there, then you must work very hard until retirement, and if you're lucky you can enjoy the rest of your life, how's THAT working out in America today? And what about personal development? Where does that fit into the education system? I can safely say that MY perspective on personal development is a WHOLE lot different than that of the educational system's perspective, shall I illustrate? The education system was created by, you guessed it, the system, and it's all about teaching conformity to those that believe that a proper education is the only route to true success, again, how's that working in these times? Look no further than the student loan debt in this country, the biggest in history, most college graduates are working minimum wage jobs and barely getting by despite working hard all through school and getting good grades. And what about law of attraction? why don't they teach that in school? why wouldn't our education system teach us how to empower ourselves instead of teaching us how to conform to the average ''working class'' system? It was only a matter of time until the education system would ''implode'' and leave millions of students in debt and struggling to find high paying jobs, so do we really need the current education system to be successful in life? Really, we don't! I've said it before and I'll say it again, we have the power within OURSELVES to mold our own reality and create our own dreams, and nothing ''outside'' of ourselves can even come close, it only leads to struggle and hard work when we rely on something that teaches us that we must ''earn'' our dream and no other way is acceptable in society. Times are changing, and this writer has indeed become ''un-schooled'' and I simply cannot credit personal development from any school [educational system] nor it's teachings, my newfound knowledge came much later in my life and the educational system's teachings are nowhere near compatible with those of personal development/deliberate creation. I hope that in some countries, there are good educational systems that are funded properly and benefit those who choose to learn, as well as those who are teaching, that they're passionate about what they do, and they enjoy their work, so everyone could benefit, but here in America, not so much! I'm glad I walked away from the ''education system'' and lived my life in a more ''self taught'' mannerism, I wouldn't be who I am today were it not for this ''learning from my own mistakes'' approach, sure, most would think that I ''messed'' up my life by dropping out of school, but it's quite truly the opposite actually. Think about it this way, how many millionaires and billionaires are high school/college dropouts? look it up and you'd be very surprised!
