For someone who was a "failure" in school, you are INCREDIBLY well=spoken!! Someone in school got thru to you that grammar was extremely important on the "outside." While I'm not perfect in grammar, I am quite critical of grammar, and I find you to be a JOY to read, as you know how to use the English language and teachers DO NOT teach grammar these days! I could SCREAM when I see someone say "I seen this" or "This is there cat." How about "There all going to the fair." Doesn't that just want to make you scream??  But you KNOW the English language and it's really a pleasure to read something of yours. So you certainly DID pick up something in school !!! Your English teacher needs a bouquet of roses! 
Now -- we love ourselves NOT because of the fact that we went to elementary school and passed, or went to Jr. & Sr. High school and passed. It's not because we went to college and graduated. We love ourselves because who we are on the INSIDE. We can't get that from college, or high school, or elementary school !!! well, maybe a little of it, but we basically get it from home and the people around us as we're growing up.
You need to forget your education or lack thereof. That doesn't matter. What matters is the kind of person you are on the inside. It's hard to self-examine because we feel like we're boasting but we're NOT. We have to REALLY look at ourselves realistically. Who ARE we? What's good about us? What's bad about us? Try to be FAIR about it, even if you feel you're boasting!
