Failure isn't an option.... so why did I choose it?

Well evidently my parents think I'm a complete failure. Apparently, not getting into governor school is not going to College. And not going to College equals failing life. So the equation goes something like this.


Doing good in High School --> Good College
Good College --> Win life
Therefore through law of detachment; Doing good in High school = Win life
----
Doing bad in High School --> Mediocre/bad/no College
Mediocre/bad/no College --> Epic Phail
Epic Phail --> No point to life (in other words, your better off dead)
Therefore through law of detachment; Doing bad in High School = No point to life


Through law of syllogism, this states that doing good in High school will make you succeed at life!

So I guess what that means is I haven't exactly met my parents expectations. To be quite honest, I've been thinking about this topic myself for quite a bit (years to be honest), and I came across the same conclusion.

So now my parents think it, I think it, my friends think it, and my teachers think it. So let me ask; DID I fail life? :/

Really, I don't think living in shame and embarrassment in the shadows of my own friends will be any fun. It's already embarrassing and shameful enough that I had to repeat TWO classes (Geometry and Biology) while they are in IB (International Baccalaureate [near equivalent of AP {advance placement}])
