Nah. I was labeled a dumb kid in high school because I had to work 40 hours a week. I went back to college as an adult and now have a masters in mech Eng.
Went to my high school reunion and the smart kids were largely abject failures. They never really struggled until college, then mostly failed out. I felt bad for them, but not too bad since most of them bullied me.
Sounds like maybe there weren't the true smart kids. You finished high-school while working a full time job. You were capable and adaptable. Fuck them :)
Thank you for that.
