2 year school miracle
Okay. So I was going to save my school story for later on, but I can't think of anything to write about today. So here is my school story. Because of my first surgery, my body was weak and my back couldn't be exposed to many things. I also couldn't wear pants for a while because of how low my scar goes. But I started my freshmen year of high school on the online school, K-12. Everyone says its amazing and that they recommend it, but I do not. I failed all the classes I took over K-12 because they lost the work I sent in either the sending period, or after they received it. I started back to regular school, but they had a teacher come out to the house to give me my work and stuff. I still failed my freshmen year. What was suppose to be my sophomore year (my 2nd freshmen year), I started off still taking the antibiotics in pill form. When I finished with my medicine, my immune system was really low, so I got sick really easily and quite often, so I missed a lot of school. I failed again that year, failure due to absences. A lot of stuff happened and I was forcibly taken form my mom and was sent to live with my dad in Conway, SC. It was only a few hours away, but it still killed me to not be able to see my mom every time I walk into a room (will talk about that in the next post). Anyway, I went to school again for the 3rd time as a freshmen when I was suppose to be a junior. My health was back to normal and my back was healed, so I was able to attend school regularly. My plan was to work hard and keep my grades up and do both freshmen and sophomore years work in that year and just be one year behind instead of three. When second semester started, I had to have a meeting with my dad, step mom and my school councilor. This was planned, so I didn't think twice about it. She explained that I succeeded my goal in doing my first two years of high school worth of work. I finished enough work to be considered a sophomore by the second quarter in the first semester. The third quarter started the second semester and I was then considered a junior. We weren't expecting it. I succeeded and passed my expectation. I was thrilled. I finished my third year of high school as a junior, just as I was suppose to. I was where I was suppose to be. But we can only take 8 classes in the school year, and I needed 9 credits. I was one class short of what I needed. I gave up my freedom that next summer and I dedicated it to taking an online course to get that missing credit. I chose my class to be Physical Education since I wasn't able to take gym due to my back. I passed it and I started my fourth year of high school as a senior. It was a year quicker than what we had planned, but I was where I was suppose to be. I am still currently in school and I graduate on June 3, 2015. I will graduate when I am suppose to and I accomplished the last two years with A-B Honor Roll. I am still maintaining good grades (though they drop every now and then, but I always bring them back up). I technically finished my schooling in just a 2 years time span. I never thought I would be able to accomplish something like this, but I did. It proves to people that anything can be achieved with hard work and dedication.
