I Used to Hate Learning. Now I Can't Stop.

I used to hate learning when I was younger. It seemed worthless, felt like a burden. It was something I had to do for absolutely nothing. My grades were bad, and I think my teachers believed I would become another homeless man in the town. Over time, something changed. I started to feel that I can be more than who I am. I decided to change my life and get into a university. In recent years I learn every day, because I want to. I feel like learning is one of the best things I can do, because it's the only thing that no one can take away from me. Sometimes, what we hate is just something we haven’t understood yet.

The older one was correct, but this is more natural.

It seemed worthless, felt like a burden.

It was something I had to do for absolutely nothing in return.

My grades were bad, and I think my teachers believed I would become just another homeless man in the town.

The "just" adds a level of insignificance to your existence, which is what one might strive for in this sentence.

Over time, something changed.

I started to feel that I can be more than who I amhad been.

I decided to change my life and get into a university.

In recent years I've learned every day, because I want to.

I'm glad you defeated the evil of ignorance! I tried to grade this one harsher because of your earlier comment about how some people found more mistakes, so most of these corrections were just about syntax, which I guess is what you should study now, considering you have nearly perfect grammar.

Thank you. I'll try. Nearly perfect grammar... I wish it were really like that. I know how to use the basic tenses, but I still struggle with perfect tenses and other complex things. This is why I don't use them. :D

It seemed worthless, (it / and) felt like a burden.

I think it's a bit more natural to include another word with this pause.

I decided to change my life and get into a university.

"university" / "school" / "work" are sort of unusual words as they're also used as a sort of abstract place. And when you're not talking about a specific university, it's more natural to use them in the abstract place sense.
