Going Back to School

Dennis had always been a terrible student. When he was a kid, his parents sent him to a Catholic school. He didn’t know much about the school. Of course he didn’t know much about anything when he was 6 years old, but he did know one thing — all his friends from the neighborhood went to a public school. Dennis was the only boy that went to a private school, and his friends would often tease him about it. “You’re not one of us! You’re not one of us,” they would sometimes chant. He wasn’t really alone, though. His friend Patricia also went to the Catholic school, but she was a girl. After a while, they began walking to the small school together every morning. Pat was the first girl friend Dennis had ever had. She wasn’t his girlfriend. She was just a friend who happened to be a girl.

The nuns at the school were very mean. They ruled the school like it was a prison. Dennis was afraid to even raise his hand to ask a question. His mother was often called into meetings with the principal about Dennis, who would also sit in the office listening to the principal telling his mother how smart he was, but was very lazy. Needless to say, Dennis didn’t do well in school and ended up going to a junior college after high school. He didn’t do very well there either, and soon dropped out.

That all changed after Dennis grew up and started working. He had worked for many years before deciding he wanted to earn a degree after all. Dennis went back to school at the age of 30, and soon was a college graduate with a degree. It turned out Dennis wasn’t as lazy as those nuns thought he was.
