Anyone who clicked this must be truly ready to sink their brain into some meat of a discussion. The title “I am dropping out of college!” is something you may be considering, once considered, or are glad you chose not to do.
My friend Ramon (19 years old) and former attendee of England’s ‘Nottingham University’ is here to today to tell 
you his reasons, motivations, and thoughts about choosing to go to college or instead creating your own life path, free of institution and curriculum.
His arguments are strong and reasonable, yet there is a fire in this man’s eyes for he knows what he wants; it is this determination that will bring him all of his life desires - COLLEGE FREE!
I met Ramon on my 6 month voyage through England and I also traveled the South of France with him via. 50cc moped. Ramon is a brilliant individual filled with grace and fury, talent and wisdom. Although I am graduating with a bachelors in Biological Sciences and continuing for another 4 years to become a Doctor Of Optometry, I completely understand Ramon’s point of view for leaving college and pursing life without the ball & chain, and without the straight jacket of exams.
Yet I do know Ramon and I will share a bright and successful future together.
2 Roads both arriving at the same point.
One is a path guided by the educational institutions & the other guided by pure creativity.
Enjoy Ramon’s short post on college life and his reasons for dropping out!
