2kitties, you can call me Crystal. I don't go to a university I go to a community college Western Piedmont. I would love to go to a university but I have a family that includes a 3 year old so it will be awhile before I can go to one. What part of NC did you grow up in?

[2kitties]

jeeze i feel stupid compared to all you guys, bragging about all you high grades and just aout straight As.. then theres me, i have not had an A since elementery school. and now i am just barely above a fail now if we learned about dog stuff, and dog grooming, and nutrion kind of thing i would be a straight A student! lol ya think it could be that i have no intrest in anything other then animal care? lol no no cuz that does not expain why I do well in history when its my least favorite subject lol. hmmm anyone mind exaplining why no matter how hard I try I never do any good? hmm I think I will stick with being a dog groomer or trainor or something!

cali, when I was in high school I had forgotten what an A was shoot I forgot what B's and C's were I did just barely graduate I graduated with D's I think so no college at that time would have wanted me. I just wasn't into school I didn't find anything that really interested me there so I just didn't put no effort into it. Atleast I did graduate tho...I don't see how tho

Everyone can learn. We all just learn in different ways and some things come easier than others. But, just because you haven't found your way to learn, it doesn' mean you can't. Before labeling yourself, try a tutor who can help you figure out your own style. Good grades can open many doors. Never settle!

[Katiesmom]

Yea cali I agree with 2kitties....I didn't mean to sound like its ok to make thos bad grades if you don't have too....Its always good to put an effort into making those good grades If I had to do over I would be a book worm because I missed out on so much.

oh I have already figerd out my style of learning, problem may have to do with luck lol. I am a very smart person, I study hard, and I work very hard. yet I get no where. same thing in showdog, I do everything possable to keep my money up, but I am at an extremly unusail high right now at only $900, half the time I am in the hole, I offer all my dogs up for stud, I sell good dogs, I dont buy a lot of dogs, I show little(to little money), and I only have 4 sessions for maximum salery yet I barby stay out of the whole, then other people who refuse to sell there dogs, or let people use then for stud, they show a tone, and have 12 sessions no salery have $60,000, no one can figer it out. obviously work style has to do with it, but luck plays a facter to. I work style is just nothing like anyone elses. and teachers go by majority and if you dont arrive at the answer the teachers way your answer is considered wrong. Im just bad luck that way lol, like I said I think I will stick with my intrests and talents, dog nutrition, training, and grooming lol

or well acually my friend pointed out aonmther thing I am good at. she said I should study at tlike a beauty school or something because I have always had a talent with makeup, and working with people hair and such lol I have plenty of talents! to bad non of them have a whole lot to do with what we learn in school lol

[Katiesmom]

that sounds like my luck! If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all
