[QUOTE="Dead Rabbits, post: 5393610, member: 70596"] Looking back my dad was kind of an ass. He started getting me up at 2:30 am on weekends and summers when I was 8 or 9. I wasn’t happy about it. Usually about 4 hours after school every day. So pretty quick I was around 40 hours a week. At 15 I started getting up before school as well and the hours went up accordingly. At 16 nobody could handle me anymore and I did what I wanted, as long as I was there for work. I had my own money, paid my own bills, and bought my first truck. It didn’t kill, damage or stunt me, but it was unpleasant at times. I probably missed 10 days of school in the 12 years i went. Going to school was like vacation! I could sleep, read, socialize, torment teachers etc for 8 hours a day. I definitely think how I grew up had a huge influence on me and I have no ill feelings towards my father about it. I do admit it may have been more than necessary. Being pushed hard does show you that you can go farther than you thought. Even now my cruising speed it still faster and longer lasting than most around me. It makes life easy [/QUOTE]
