That's okay LR, I was not too sucessfull w/ school either... I even stumbled through college for a few years... it took few years after that to sober up again.
Nothing wrong with working hard though... just keep your word & you will be stellar. You can't go wrong with hard work & honesty in life.
I am not trying to be hard on you, but talking too much can get you into trouble... it is a prosecutors favorite windfall; when cross examining a defendant (especially when innocent). On here, you will be cross-examined by many... we can be like a pack of wolves... talk too much & it is all documented & up for public discussion. Most of us did not fall off the turnup wagon either.
Anyways, hope to see you make this right & and move on.
