Got accepted into a high school!

#1 Postby conestogo_flood » Tue Dec 19, 2006 10:57 am

I just got back from an interview at a high school here for troubled teens or expulsion students(like me!).

I've been accepted, I can earn 1 credit in 5 weeks, I start January 8th, and it might actually reverse my expulsion if I show enough will in the program! It's only 3 hours a day too, I'm pretty excited. It could get me back into mainstream schools by February.

Good for you! You should try getting into a vocational school for the other part of your day.....we have several students attending here that are enrolled in alternative high schools. Take every opportunity out there to get your life back on track.....IT CAN BE DONE!!!

I have faith in you too.....you're starting to make better choices!......p :wink:

Study hard and give it your all, it might not seem like it right now, but high school for all its faults really does matter. I dug a hole for myself in freshman and sophomore year, but almost any hole can be gotten out of. Good luck!
