I dropped out and joined the marines, my parents were divorced and poor, and I was one less mouth to feed.
Did you do well in the marines? I believe there's a lot of studies and stuff you can do in the army. In the Netherlands they even pay for your study if you sigh up to work for them afterwards.

That's not so bad. A shark is actually dangerous. I'm pretty scared for spiders, and they don't do anything to hurt me, they only run away (good idea, I usually kill them 😛)
