Yay, another absence thread from me! However unlike the first time this won't turn out to be nothing and I return the next day. On the other hand unlike last time I'm not actually -gone-.
For those who care to read it, here is a short life story of the reason behind why I will be gone!
You see, from the very start my school has been... bad for me. Back in first grade I got held back because I wasn't mature enough for second grade. Yep, they held a first grader back for maturity, even though I was the top of my class.
So a few years later I got held back yet again. This time they wouldn't even give a reason. They just told my parents it was best for me to have to repeat my third grade year.
So I trucked on until fifth grade. They suddenly decided that I should move on to seventh grade the next year. My parents once again went along with it.
Our school is Kindergarten through sixth grade in one building, and then Seventh through Senior in a bigger building across the road.
So I had to leave my friends I had made in the recent years behind. I didn't have any classes with them anymore, and didn't see them much at all during school like I used to. But that's okay, I made new friends! Including my current best friend.
I can't say my troubles ended there though. My schooling went downhill as I went through the years as the staff of the school must have literally -tried- to remove any interest in school work from me. Nothing was interesting to me, but just gotta do it to move on in life right? Wasn't enough for them apparently.
So for the purpose of getting away from that school, I dropped out and am currently getting ready to get my GED.
Some consider this the -easy out- that won't get you anywhere in life. But that's not true. I will be getting this GED hopefully soon, and will be using it to get into college next year. So really, I am just moving ahead to where I should be.
Today I had to take an evaluation test. You know, to make sure I wasn't a complete moron.
Not to brag but I had to get a 10.0 minumum. That means I am at 10th grade level and capable of obtaining my GED. Well, I passed everything with a 12.9, the highest grade. It means my scores were at 12th year 9th month level. AkA college level.
So I don't think getting my GED will be a problem, however the point of all this REALLY other that just telling a story, is that for a while now I will be preparing and studying so I can make sure I get it.
Until then I will be a bit occupied with all this so won't really be on much, between leaving early in the morning, testing before riding back with the family and most likely taking a nap...
