I have a wife and three daughters (7, 4, and 4), and we just celebrated the 11th anmiversery of moving into our house (11/18/03) together. After graduating high school with a 3.5 gpa, I took a year off then started working retail from the bottom and worked my way into management quickly. I decided against going to college being I was in depression from not getting any attention from the ladies, and feared it would only get worse in college...that and I procrastinated too much and was too late in applying. My daughters are already playing games, my oldest is even into Pokemon. We also watch One Piece together every night, where I have to now read the subtitles for her being we surpassed where the dub is at.

I agree, and there's loads of people out there who think Pokemon is just for kids. How wrong they are.
Senior year in high school right now. I was lucky enough to be friends with a group of people who liked Pokemon in middle school, so I started to play Pokemon as well. And that has (obviously) stuck with me through high school.
I was lucky, I heard about plenty of terrible schools that others have gone to, and I enjoy just about everything in my school. Well, except fot the crappy administration, 3 of the teachers I had, and the middle schoolers and Freshmen. I dont know what happened after my class got there, but we started to get some crazy kids.
I graduated from college with a Physics major and have been working as an engineer for over 6 years. I'd say I'm in the "figured it out" category. I am married and my first kid will be coming out any second now...
I still play video games (bought Smash / Pokemon launch day), but one thing you will learn after college is the old saying, "when I was young, I had all the time in the world but I couldn't afford to do what I want, and now that I'm old, I can afford it but don't have time for it" is very true...
I am primarily a PC gamer, but also play Xbox (360 / One) and have a 3ds and Wii U as well.
I'm currently in my Junior year of College at UNT. Getting my degree in theatre with a teaching certificate. Going great so far, and I'm planning to graduate on time in May 2016. It's hard to believe how far I'm come since entering a university. For the most part, I have enjoyed it way more than High School. As it goes by a more personalized schedule, getting to meet new people and work on your time.

Heh, glad to hear I'm not the only graduate here. Was starting to feeling creepy. I've just graduated from a Bachelor of Education specializing in Physical Education and majoring in Evolutionary Ecology. As much as I love teaching I've decided it's not the career I want to pursuit and have taken up an internship with my church.
I had a year out of highschool to work, saved up and went to visit my family back home in Africa since I knew it probably would be the last time I could afford with the inevitable debt I was about to put myself in for uni.
Had you asked me four years ago I would have told you I have my life sorted out. In retrospect I had no idea - so while I feel like I have a great handle on life at the moment I'm sure in another four years I will look back and think otherwise lol.

We have a diffrent school system where I live, but I'm in 11th grade (college I guess). I prioritise electrical engineering, and I am going to specialise in automation, and most likely become an automatician. We're currently learning about Programmable logic controller (PLC) and Pneumatics, and it is really cool.
