ORIGINAL: Tinkerer Submissives: Have you ever been forced to learn a subject? Were you successful? Did the pressure from your dominant help or hinder you? Did you enjoy the experience? How did they do it? My former owner required me to go back to college, so I did. I was required to get straight A's, so I did. I did get one B, though, in a Statistics class, but I was going through a divorce at the time, and my father had just died, and I was working a lot of overtime at work. At first I enjoyed it. I was kind of scared to go back to school after 20 years and it was good for me to realize I could still get A's in everything. Plus, some of the classes were interesting, and even fun (until Statistics and Economics!). But there was too much pressure. School, working 50 hours a week, divorce, several deaths in the family, trying to get my house sold, medical problems, and an extremely demanding owner who would keep me up until all hours of the night did not provide an optimal environment for me to succeed in. The pressure became too much and I cracked....like majorly cracked. I don't go to school anymore. I didn't finish my degree. I decided at my age and with my history, I'd rather enjoy all I can out of life than sit at home every night and weekend for the next 5-10 years with my nose in books. I have an awesome job, family, friends, relationship. If I didn't work full time I'd probably go back to school. But it's not a priority for me now.
