Do you consider academics as important as life experiences in being successful and happy?

I wish we could have had the accelerated classes available when I was in high school. Much of it came too easy and as a result, I often did not really apply myself. Now, I tackle the harder things....not always with great success, but I tackle them. Most of all, I treasure the friendships, with some being even as far back as first grade.

I do not consider academics nearly as important as life experiences. So many things you just cannot get from books. We have to experience life, good and bad. Life experiences make us what we are, not books.
