But then when I was 16 my parents separated, and I became really depressed. My friends only cared about drinking, drugs and sex, and that just wasn't who I was ever (well except for drinking), So I dropped my friends and started over.
Best decision I ever made!
Im an accountant now, BUT not a suit wearing stuffy think im super intelligent type. I know my stuff, but I dont carry the same attitude that some people might expect me to have. Nor do I care much about how people perceive me, on nights out I strip, jump around, and some people are shocked to think Im an accountant, like I shouldn't act a certain way.
So really im not all that different. I work hard where it counts and the rest of the time - I dont...
i was always in with the 'popular' crowd at school but was also academic and worked hard. i think i was just very cheeky and had a bit of an attitude. in work though i've always got on quite well as that attitude has turned into an assertiveness which is often looked upon favourably in the world of work.
when i went to university though i dropped the attitude and was very well behaved; i got on with the work, never questioned my lecturers, never bunked and was quite quiet. i think the thing was that there were no rules to break so i just got on with it.
after uni though i went on to do a post-graduate course where the lecturer treated us like primary school children and suddenly i was in my twenties back with the attitude of a 16 year old (turning up late, writing notes at the back, taking the p*ss out of the teacher, etc). i think it just goes to show that sometimes 'rules' can actually have a bad effect on people!
i'm a secondary school teacher now and it's funny because the minute i walk into a class i can instantly catagorise which kids go in which group! funny that!
