Way to go Joe!!!!!

Lot's of fun ahead, but don't lose sight of the big goal. Education, training and a secure future. Take learning serious, whether it's drinking beer, or drinking knowledge, whatever you do, do it well and you'll have no regrets.

Congrats Joe! If you did well in High School, you'll do fine at ITT. Just be sure to study. I'm taking electronics at a tech school. In high school I made average grades. But in college, I make mostly A's with a B or two in there somewhere. Just be dedicated and keep your interest in the subject alive and you'll do fine. And don't get discouraged. YOU CAN DO IT!

Those guys are EXACTLY correct Joe.

I know you've heard all the preaching in the past so I'll make this brief. High School and a secondary education are INCREDIBLY DIFFERENT.

In HS, I could walk in before a test, read a few quick paragraphs and make, at a minimum, a B with VERY little effort. If you do that in any sort of secondary education setting, you're doomed for failure. Take it from someone who learned the hard way his first semester of college.

I went from graduating in the top 1% of my HS class to making well below a .... well... let's just say I did AWFUL my first semester in college. LOL! (I did grad. w/ a 3.25 GPA in college though).

Just make sure to apply yourself from the begining. I bombed one semester bad and it was VERY difficult to bail my butt out of that one. Do it right the first time man! Again, good job and good luck!

Pay attention to RockPicks good advice, Joe.

You don't want to end up as a Moderator on a truck site do you?

Hey Joe,


Just think after graduation from ITT . You may qualify to be a goat herder. I hear that's a lucrative occupation....

ITT wouldn't quite be enough.
Most goat herders have their Masters in Psychology.

Think about it, 40 to 60 goats versus you and all you got is a stick.
I wouldn't recommend the herding profession, you really have to watch your step.

Hey Joe,

Congratulations on your completion of the past 13, (more than likely) hellish times in your life.

I hope the rest are heavenly and even better!

Your old pal,

FL
