Hey, love muffins! Below is my response to this week’s Ask B Scott – I apologize for not posting this yesterday!
Question:
B Scott,
What would you say to someone who feels like school is really overrated? I am so close to the finish line, but I feel like it’s getting in the way of me pursing my dreams. Things are really taking off with my poetry career, I have this book coming out, I’m performing everywhere, and what hurts me the most is that when I want to write, I have to study or write a paper. It’s really bothering me, and I’m trying not to have my grades suffer because I’ve worked very hard to get my GPA where it is.
I’m trying to hold on and get my degree because my mom, as a single parent, put in a lot of hours working to support me and made sacrifices for me to stay in school. I’m struggling with that feeling that comes with knowing where your destiny is, when you find your true passion in life, and that urge to pursue your true calling. I’m sure that’s something you can attest to now as you’re living your dreams out each day. I get down when I think about how much time I still have time left in school while wanting to be immersed in the poetry scene. It’s frustrating. I need some advice.
