A blessing? This person will forever more be brought down by the child she brought into the world; she is doomed to be nothing more than a simpleton. She will never be able to go to college, at least not a university of any prestige. Statistically, her life will be far worse with the child than without.
Really, Kalister? I dropped out of high school when I was her age, because I couldn't handle the pressure any longer. I certainly never attended "a university of any prestige". Does that make me a "simpleton", and "doomed to be nothing more" for the rest of my life?
For that matter, was Abraham Lincoln, who had almost no formal schooling and absolutely no college education (much less a "university of any prestige") a "simpleton"?
When Albert Einstein dropped out of school at the age of 16, and failed to get into college on his first try, did that "doom" him to be "nothing more than a simpleton"?
For that matter, George W. Bush graduated high school, and subsequently went to Yale (certainly a university of some prestige). Does this mean he is actually a genius, and simply
appears to be a simpleton?
I think you place far too much importance on formal education, my young friend...
