There once was a kid that was 9 years old and he
lived in Puerto Rico. He went to school and he was
always bored. He didn’t pay attention in class and he
didn’t do his homework either. One day when he was
returning from school he let a big sigh as he came in to
his house.

2. His dad heard him and said “What’s wrong?” The kid
replied “Why school is boring and do I have to go there?”
His dad gave him a smile and told him that school is a

3. necessity that everyone must go through because
otherwise he would not making out in the real world. If
his dad hadn’t gone to school then he obviously would
not have gone to college and earned a job that he loves
and enjoys every day. So the father asks what interest
the kid the most. He said “Computers.” His dad said
“Then how do you think computers where made if no
one went to school? They wouldn’t exist right? Now if
you really want to work with computers you need to gain
the skills thought in school so you can study what you
like and finally get a job doing what you love.

because he knew it would pay off in the end and it would
be to benefit him completely. After he understood this
perfectly he quickly started having fun learning and
making the most of his experiences at school.As he grew
up he started having fun learning all by himself even.

5. The years passed and he was an adult now. He was
working part-time as a computer security consulter for
airplanes and was a full-time student all before the age
of 25.So let this be a lesson, that if he had not studied
hard from the beginning he would have never gotten to
where he is now.

him?
2. Do you think he could have reached the same job
by not going to school?
3. Is he truly happy of the professional adult the kid
has become?
