Drake dropped out of school at the age of 15 to pursue his fame. At the time, he was to co-star on a TV show, Degrassi: The Next Generation, a Canadian TV show. He was studying at Vaughan Road Academy in Canada. Drake made it known through his twitter page and Facebook wall. He wrote, “97% on my final exam. 88% in the course. One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school!”
Drake was named No. 6 on “Forbes”‘s Hip-Hop Cash Kings list, earning $20.5 million from May 2011 to May 2012.
Drake’s mother was not happy when his son decided to leave school and right now, she is happy that he has managed to complete. She is a retired educator Sandi Graham.
At one point in his life, he was lost in his teenage days, Drake knew he wanted to do music, but he dropped out of high school against his mother’s wishes. But today, he has finished his high school and is planning to further his education.
QUESTIONS:
1. Would you drop out of school just because you want to go into music or pursue a career you love?
2. What would be your advice for any person who wants to quit school to pursue his or her dreams?
3. Drake has just graduated from High School (secondary school) 11yrs after he dropped out, why is it that most successful businessmen and celebrities who drop out of school, despite their money, they still don't want to go back to School?
PLEASE Let's Have your VIEWS:
Thanks.
