The best experiences and memories are made during your school years. I regret not graduating and not going to the prom with my friends. A GED is a lot harder to get than going to high school and it will make a difference because university’s look at a GED and will figure you took the easy way out and think you may not be able to handle the heavy work load that college courses require. I know in my heart you will make the right decision because you don’t sound like a quitter to me.

Just remember this little fact: Minimum wage jobs go to people with little or no education. Higher wage jobs go to people with college education.

When I was in high school there was a girl that got pregnant our sophomore year (she was 16). Her parents kicked her out so she went to live with her boyfriend. About a month before the baby was born he kicked her out. She had no where to go. She had basically nothing, other than clothes. She loved with a friend for 2 months. After the 6 weeks she got a job and moved out on her own. She went to school and worked full time….and graduated. She really didn’t get to spend a lot of time with the baby, but she had wonderful friends who helped her a long the way. And she graduated, knowing she did it all herself, for her and her baby. To me she is simply an amazing person.

I really didn’t know her, I graduated with almost 650 other people, but every time I feel that life gets tough, I think of her. How young she was, how much will she had, and how hard she worked.

Don’t drop out. You have less than 9 months. Whatever your circumstances are, you can make it work.

Instead of dropping out, maybe you could finish your senior

year at a cyber school.

Also, if you cannot do a cyber school, maybe you will want to

get your ged from job corp.

It is federally funded and after getting your ged, they will

pay for 2 years of a community college, or job training on sight. (The campus)

You have to go through some hassles but it was worth it for

my son.

Toughing it out is another option, but depends on your attitude. Do you really believe you will not be able to attend your highschool and stay healthy and out of trouble?
