    I absolutely loved school, from K right through to getting two degrees.

    Last time I was in school - finished my Bachelor of Education in 1986.

    I always enjoyed school and learning came easy to me. Being from a small town meant you were pretty much friends with everyone. I finished my Bachelor of Business Admin in 2012. I've been debating tackling either an MBA or Masters of Science in Math/Statistics but I'm not quite sure where I want my career to go yet and they are so expensive.

    With unlimited funds there were are lots of classes I'd pursue just for interest sake (I'm a total nerd). I loved History, Classics Studies, and Psychology. I wrote a history paper on contraception practices in the middle ages in university... that was a weird research project.

    I enjoyed it, for the most part. NOT the social aspect of it (I was bullied and didn't really have a lot of friends) but I loved the work, the projects, reading and writing, and even the tests!!!

    I took my PSW course 5 years ago at a local college and I loved it... I was so excited to buy a new back pack, a new lunch box, a binder, etc. LOL

    Loved it! Social butterfly, cheerleader and good grades easily obtained.
    Gosh my parents were lucky!!

    I might mention that I met and had a secret crush on my Hubby in high school; we didn't start dating until he was in his first year of university...the rest, 45 years later, is a happy history!

    Loved it and hated school at the same time. School was very easy for me -academically. I was a very good student. But I was pretty shy and quiet back then, it made socializing very difficult.

    Last time I was in school: well yesterday, since I teach at a school. I actually love being in a school environment, and the students. I can't imagine not getting up each day and going (even now). But as a student, in 2004, when I finished my MA in Anthropology.

    -I loved school and had very good grades -except math
    -but the social experience not so great was withdrawn ,very quiet,not many friends in high school(was shoved in a locker once) as my dad had passed away the summer before I started highschool so it sent me for a loop -also I was out of town when he passed visiting an older half brother ,his wife and 2 year old son
    -I did go on to finish 12 did a bit of grade 13
    -but got married young to a wonderfull man which I don't regret -and instilled education in our children from the get go -read to them before school at an early age-went on school trips -paid for a math tudor for our daughter in grade 12 -drove my son to college in a snowstorm so he could write and exam and our daughter and son went on to university and collage and both got a degree
