His wife deserves some credit for sticking by him.
Why
Lol, what credit? Not like the bitch had a choice.
I bet she thought a few times about leaving, but probably felt she would be even worse off alone or with some abuser

This man is living proof that a low GPA does not mean low intelligence.
Александар Наумов im living Proof of the exact opposite
True but it also reflects how lazy you are.
Vincent Hodges idk. Some very intelligent kid at my school had a 1.6gpa but he just didn’t do his homework.
@R4GE1929 I did the same thing because I knew I can pass by just doing good on rest and quizzes and dis my homework here and there. Is honestly not that hard.
@@vincenthodges647 School system is absolutely garbage. Not giving in isnt being lazy lol
Low-key this feels like an ad for student loans.

U really need to try to get that gpa. Getting a 0.9 is harder than a 3.0
Rishi Thota I had a 0.8 my freshman year of high school I am now a senior. Trust me you literally just do nothing all day.

Dang Harvard professor nice to meet you
Never did any homework on every class subject I did. Got me bad grades but I was always very good on my class.
JustOTGFrame how do you have a bad grade in the class still do good
And I went from a 3.9 GPA in high school to a dead end minimum wage job. 😭
I believe you can get out of your situation and make something out of yourself. It will take time. This guy worked dead end jobs but that did not stop him.
Wow are you me?
... did you go to college?
Love your name

@Jaegar Ultima California offers probably the most benefits for the poor. However it is the 2nd most expensive place to live in the US. Not to mention california politics believes government is the solution to everything. So not a very good example.
@Jaegar Ultima If something isn't working the way you want it to then at least try to change it. Not even trying is the attitude that causes people to fail more than any unfair system. Even people that faced incredible injustice eventually rised up and did something about the problems they saw.
@Jaegar Ultima how about you move to 3rd world country. People living with ground floor wooden house and eat only rice and ketchup is not that rare
"Took out as many loans as possible, Took out as many loans as possible, took out as many loans as possible"
this needs more likes. He did all that, Very slim odds of that working out and luckily made it. Where are all the stories of the other side of this lopsided coin? This is an Advert.
@@cocorico128 At least they did mention the fact that all these years later, he is still in nearly $200,000 worth of debt. I'm sure his kids are getting ready to go off to college (even more debt,) he's got a home he is more than likely still paying on if he lives anywhere near Harvard, etc.. That leftover $200k will follow him into and ruin his retirement, sadly.
@@swagdaddyify Yep, at least they didn't hide that. All this to say you went to a place called Harvard? Strange to me but i guess each their own.
so many older people saying they worked their way through college when now there's no choice but to take out loans for anything but a degree that means nothing. try finding a job after college that can pay $1200 a month in loans and also pay for rent and food. ridiculous.
@@swagdaddyify He still has debt the video also mentioned that the interest rate on that debt is below inflation, not to mention that he's investing his savings. Yeah he's going to have to pay off that loan but if he's just putting that money that he would've payed to his student loans in an index fund he's coming out ahead.
Honestly the biggest thing I got out of this was “I don’t think you’re lazy, I just believe you need to be motivated all the time”
Powdered Soap I believe you will go back to your winning days soon.
same
Powdered Soap Get your GPA up just for the sake of college. Trust me, if you hate homework but like exams then you’ll be fine in college. I can’t tell you how many A’s came from 50% midterm 50% final classes. The semester long classes also help avoid burnout because you get new teachers mid school year (when you usually start to burnout).
I graduated high school with a 1.9 GPA. I had to complete online classes during my senior year in order to gain enough credits to graduate with my peers. Attending a top ranked university was always my dream growing up but I lost my academic self-confidence during my first years of high school. I played two sports and took as many honors classes as I could but juggling it all proved to be too much as I still wasn't getting the grades I thought I needed to attend a good school. After a downward spiral of depression and self-doubt, I just flat out gave up on my dream. I dropped out of school for almost a year and did next to nothing when I came back. I went to class but never paid attention and never did any of the assignments I was given. All I wanted was just to pass my classes (getting all D's) and get the hell out of high school.
After I graduated I started attending my local community college, which I dreaded. Everyone had treated it like a joke while I was in high school. I thought it was humiliating. I hated seeing all my friends killing it in life and having a blast at their respective universities while I was stuck in my hometown living the same old life. But I began to enjoy the departure from the monotony of high school classes to a more bespoke college class schedule. I chose what classes I wanted to take and when and loved being in an environment where people actually wanted to learn. What I slowly realized was that community college was a fresh start, a second chance to succeed. I thought my high school failures would stick with me forever, but they didn't. My slate was wiped clean.
After my first semester I regained confidence in myself and sparked my drive learn again. I buckled down and starting kicking ass in every class I took. Several semesters and lots of papers and exams later I began my transfer applications for a four-year university, and a few months after that I started hearing back from schools. I was accepted to every school I applied to except one and chose to attend UC Berkeley. Two years later I had finally reached my childhood dream of graduating from a top ranked university!
I will forever and always be an advocate for community college after my experience! Although it wasn't nearly as exciting as life at a four-year institution (no frats, no campus life, no parties, no huge sporting events), it was exactly what I needed to flourish academically. The no frills environment meant that there was nothing else to focus on but my studies and my grades reflected that. My professors and counselors were all easy to reach and always happy to help. Several of them were even better at teaching than my professors at Berkeley!
So basically, moral of the story is that anyone can attend a great university no matter what your academic background is. As long as you want it badly enough and are willing to put in the work and make the sacrifices to do so, it can be done. You don't need a 4.8 GPA in high school or an astronomically high SAT score. Just attend class everyday, study effectively, do every assignment to the best of your ability, and maybe get some extra-curriculars under belt and you'll be where you want to be in 2-3 years time.
This is highly inspirational, my friend! Way to go and I seriously applaud you for turning your life around based on your happiness!
How many semesters did you attend at Community college? Im considering taking the same path, but idk if I want to More than a year.
@@ebobby1136 Hi, maybe I could help you with some advice since i'm currently a community college student, who is planning on transferring to a four year institution. In the U.S., most community colleges are designed with two year programs in mind, meaning you can take general education classes for the first two years, and then transfer to a four-year university. Community college is flexible (you can decide what classes you want to take and can work while going to school) and tuition is more affordable, compared to most four-year schools. You don't necessarily have to complete a degree from a community college in two years (approx. 4 semesters), although most people do since they want to move forward towards earning a four year degree or higher from another learning institution. And yes, it isn't exactly like four year colleges, with the parties, dorms, or giant lecture halls, but it is still a great place to meet new people and get grounded in your college career in a more affordable setting. Hope this answers your question!! ;)
Thank you for this. Currently am a sophomore and have a pretty good gpa but I don’t take any extracurriculars and never have. Will start them as soon as possible. Very inspirational, thanks!
Thank you.
I had a 2.4 gpa in hs and wasn't going to go to college because of that. My mom dragged me to an open house at my local community college 3 years ago and I met a professor who quite literally changed my life. This professor motivated me to start applying myself in school, as he could tell I was regretful of not trying in hs. It is two years later now, and I'm sitting here typing this at Cornell University, and I only have to spend one and a half more years here to earn my bachelors degree. It's never too late to start trying.
HMD Plays it probably did tho.. cornell accepts a ton of transfer students and it’s very easy to maintain good grades in community college
@@selin1587 Don't you know? Nothing ever happens according to some people.
Honestly, good for you! Cornell is a great school!
Hi! My dream school is Cornell! What did you do in order to get there?
Your story inspired me a lot. I have a 3.0 GPA right now, had horrible teachers during my HS years, but I'm going to go to community college and fight for my dream and gain admittance into an Ivy. And surprisingly, Cornell is the same one I want to get into (Harvard is seriously overrated)
The moral: do the work to get the grades to graduate high school. Don't breed irresponsibly. Kids can wait, marriage can wait. Minimum wage jobs weren't designed to support family building.
Kudos to his wife for handling the home front
long business you sound like you live in the suburbs
You sound like you have a tie for every day of the year.
Im 29 n my son is almost 13. I would hate to be 40 or 50 and my son be in hes teens. all hes friends dads are old n bald 😎😎
Actually minimum wage jobs WERE designed to support family building. That was the whole point of MINIMUM wage. It used to be about the minimum wage to build a standard life, family, simple home and car. Nowadays you definitely cannot achieve that with minimum wage thus everyone’s view of it has warped completely from what it started as..
yeah except that's bs too lol. i listened to all that crap and am now nearing 30 with no woman in sight!
You'd be suprised how many low GPA students in High school end up doing well in college
The opposite is true too.
same i used to be ranked last in highschool and now im studying cs
It's almost like GPA isn't a measure of intelligence...
@@dominicgunderson it isnt and shouldnt be
DinoGonx but it shows laziness in people
*To anyone watching this video that hasn't graduated high school yet:*
college academics are extremely different from high school academics. My GPA sucked in high school, but I did well in college because college was only around 2 hours of class per day. I had the energy to study. In HS, I never understood how they expected us to wake up at 6 AM, go to school until 3 PM, participate in an afterschool activity, study, AND maintain a good GPA.
This is so encouraging! I'm 44 yrs old & I just enrolled in Penn Foster High School.. I've passed 5 exams so far! I'm currently working 2 jobs & I still can't afford rent! I just feel like there's something more out there! I wanna get a certificate in Social Work..

This video gives me false hope & motivation
Highschool was boring af, ended with around a 2.3 gpa
Now I'm in college with around a 4.0 gpa. Its a whole different story when your actually interested in what your learning!
this gave me a lot of hope, im a highschool student and I’m not doing really well so thank you so much for this.
So true I’m a senior and soon going to graduate in 4 months. And i also have a 2.3 GPA. High school is boring af, never found the interest in it
Obviously you’re not interested in learning grammar.
hotwired flamingo probably because you’re in a bad college
Quick question from a junior in highschool right now. What did you do to get into college ( like a good act score or just luck)? I'm worried I wont be able to get in because I have a 2.5.
Don't get me wrong, this guy is very impressive and I applaud his hard work for pulling himself through. But I feel like there's a missing part to the story?
Harvard isn't going to automatically accept someone who graduated top of class from a mediocre university just because they dramatically increased their grades from high school. Graduating top of class is a minimum to get into Harvard, so there has to be some other outstanding factor that made them take the spot from another potential student.
That doesn't make him any less deserving of his success but there has to be something else pulling the strings that had this happen.
I think it's the fact that he worked 12 minimum wage jobs while taking care of a kid. That alone would probably outweighs any essay.
@@minhtrietvo8448 Man all the kids who spend hours loading up on rigorous course offerings and doing extracurricular after extracurricular should just drop everything and fuck up their life with a kid to get into Harvard. What a crapshoot college admissions is today.
High GRE scores, perhaps.
@@minhtrietvo8448 his wife was probably doing most of the childcare. Also he took on several different minimum wage jobs at seperate times, not all at once.
He does seem very hardworking but having children while going to college via night classes isn't all that uncommon.
His background is what got him in. Working full time, while being a father, and attending classes at night while being the top student is really exceptional, especially considering that he was a high school dropout.
Anyone else get this randomly recommended?
It's not random it is an Advert.
Nahh, youtube just knows my gpa

$1200 a month in student loans, he's got to be making big money to do so.
It's daddy's money
@Jacob Pesquera That would be the rate for a Professor. He stated in the video that he is a Lecturer. There is a massive difference in both the job and pay. Avg. Harvard LECTURER makes just over $56k. Not anything to write home about.
I had a 1.2 GPA in high school; went to summer school the 9th, 10th and 11th grade. Now I have an MBA and will probably attempt a doctorate degree in the future. You can't fail if you never quit!
Are you into research?
I am.

I have harvard story, I mean the story isn't me it's my brother. He was extremely bad in highschool he got really mediocre grades all of high school. He was in a community college for awhile, however he just for some reason wanted to change. So he turned it around in college and eventually applied to harvard. He got accepted, graduated a couple years later and applied and got accepted to Oxford in England. He lives there now and is the president of the C.S lewis Foundation or something like that I forget what it's called I'm probably wrong however it just goes to show never give up. My brother is a mentor and teacher to me and you CAN change. You WILL change you just have to work hard and put the effort in and believe yourself and I know it sounds cheesy but trust me if my brother could have a transformation like that so can you. Anyone can.
Sorry, but how did he get from a cc to Harvard? Would u specify the details? Cuz Harvard isn’t obliged to accept any student from ccs unlike state schools 🤔
Spicy Tuna Roll imagine reading this
@@luciferseventh1679 he went to some community college in cape cod, applied to umass, got accepted there and then applied to harvard I'm pretty I'd have to ask him. Don't really see him that often anymore since he studies over seas.
The president of the C.S Lewis foundation (J. Stanley Mattson) didn’t study at Harvard.
He studied at New York, Wisconsin then university of North Carolina
This story doesn’t add up
This guy may be a professor in something but not personal finance.
In America, the reality of his gargantuan life-long debt makes this much less inspiring
But really the debt is avoidable in probably 80% of cases. I empathize with those less fortunate but there really isn't an excuse for those in middle class and above.
@@HobbiesWithNick depends how you view society really. No other country in the world saddles its young people with as much debt as the US university system. Sure, some get scholarships/bursaries but most don't. In fact, lots of countries don't charge students a penny for their tuition.
@@Iamharryparker True it is extremely expensive simply because it can be thanks to the universities but so far from experience taking a year off before going to school to work and save money seems like the only way to go. Because each summer you get off you can go make the next year's tuition and so on. So you could come out debt free and with some money saved if you do it right.
@@HobbiesWithNick
When transport and other living expenses are factored in, College Board estimates the following annual budgets for undergraduate students in 2018/19:
$25,890 (in-state students at a four-year public college)
$41,950 (out-of-state students at a four-year public college)
$52,500 (private non-profit four-year college)
You're earning somewhere between $25,890-$52,500 over just a summer? Fair play but I think most people would struggle to generate even a tenth of these figures, especially in low-wage, studenty work.

How one man went from a 0.9 GPA in Harvard to a high school lecturer
was a great story until i saw him 180k in debt! He may have the prestige but hes getting nailed with that over his head.
davy Smith the debt to salary is pretty good for him, so he’s doing just fine
@@barentobadry7537 i apparently missed that part, how much is he making?
@@davysmith8569 Never said. I did some research and he should be making around 70k-200k/year. That depends on his position and title. On average they make around 110k/ year.
it's better than having zero debt and working a minimum wage job. he only pays 1200 a month on it anyways which is very affordable when you make over 100k a year. which i'm sure he's getting more than that.
@@dynamo3059 I would agree with you if this was a guarantee but its not. Many students get into major debt with nothing to show for. Im happy it worked out for him, but this isnt the norm. The majority have major debt they will never pay off.

Quite an interesting story. Really touched.
Love this !!! All while going to school
so basically he got into the honors program for one class out of pity.
Program directors make exceptions fairly regularly. It’s hard for them to say no in person and he took the initiative to setup the meeting and get the class. There’s no “basically” here that you can use to discount his hard work and going on to graduate TOP of his class.
@@RuilinLinRyan no amount of "initiative" should disregard a 0.9 gpa. There was no telling he would become top of his class either. Not hating on him, just saying putting a 0.9 in a honors class was not a good decision on the university's part
@@vishalupadhyaya3660 IDK where you're from, but numbers are not everything. I'm guessing you're from India? I know that in India and China, numbers are a major part of academic and career options. However, in the US, a person's character means much much more. The person in the video had also completed his GED which has a score that is comparable to GPA so that could have been a factor if his GED score is better, which if it were would also indicate his growth in ability.
@@RuilinLinRyan im from detroit, and education literally revolves around numbers and labels
@@vishalupadhyaya3660 Weird. I've been in the US my whole life and haven't had this experience of strict adherence to numbers and labels. Sure it could contribute to some presumptions but after meeting in person decisions are made on character.
This gives me hope in a hopeless world
I've been there. I dropped out of my s**thole of a high school after I failed every class under the sun in my senior year. Later, I got my GED and got rid of the baggage from high school. I then went on to graduate from college and law school. I've been a college professor for nearly 25 years and I teach tax and business law classes and I'm having the time of my life at my job. I'll also say that all the success I've been blessed to enjoy, with more to come, is a continuing kick to the groin of my old high school. It does get better. I'm living proof.

In Germany: Do your Highschool at whaterver age you want, proceed to go to university with almost no costs, and definitely no loans.
Simon23 The cost is in the taxes you force on your fellow citizens. I’m not interested in subsidizing other people’s degrees in underwater basket weaving.

Its his sort of thinking that's going to keep american standard of living below Europe's
You see it as paying someone else and you dont want to
I see it as investing in my country and see it as a patriotic duty
If I pay for someone to go to University
He is more likely to get a job and succeed therefore contributing back into the society
Sure there are some who will be pathetic and waste it
But not all investments succeed
Even in health care you heartless bastards refuse to pay for your fellow americans
@@BALLARDTWIN ah yes because nothing says freedom like paying for someone else's diabetes because they ate junk food. Not to mention the fact that we spend more than any other healthcare system and helathcare for all would cost 1 trillion +

Start by introducing the sugar tax therefore sizing down those fucking ginormous drinks and burgers that's available to you
That will deal with your obesity problems
There are areas in society where freedom is not ideal
Too much freedom is given to the food industry in the USA
Get restaurant chains to size down their meals wih taxes
They will increase the cost and people who eat fat wont be able to pay for the food that gets them fat
Overweight society is actually a threat to the national security of the USA as stated by the military themselves who are struggling with new recruits nowadays
Just follow the plan that many european countries did and start implementing it
State by state
Show off your results then full on nation wide
This has been done before and it does work
The UK has clamped down hard on fast food chains here
Even school dinners have been taken over by healthy eating programs
Simon23 germans are poor so we dont care
Now imagine how much better this story would sound if the guy wasn't forced to take all the loans he could get!
This guy is more inspirational than Steve jobs
I wish they’d just let him speak I’d listen to this guy for like an hour
