By the time I was 16 I was ready to do university level subjects in my chosen field and was even on a course that would have articulated to it - so instead of graduating high school I would have dropped out. School principal didn't want me to drop out, so organised a meeting with myself, her and the careers counsellor which left me shaken up! I ended up finishing high school but at some personal cost - failed a subject, got depressed and ended skipping 1-2 days per week.
