Life After High School
When I was fourteen years old in the ninth grade I decided to drop out of High School. I reassure myself that working was more important at the time than sitting in a classroom for eight hours. As years went by I needed to find myself a better paying job but I had one problem and that was not having an education.
After working under the table for so long I knew I needed to move up in life. I wanted a better paying job. I put applications in everywhere but nobody wanted to hire someone without having either a GED or High school diploma. I knew I had to do something, I couldn't bare working full time making pocket change. Something had to be done!
My motivation was my fight, I never really had a voice, and I never really took school seriously but I knew I needed a change and that was going back to school. I thought to myself, was it too late, and am I too old to go back now to get my diploma. A friend of mine told me about this web site she went to and received a legitimate High school diploma. The very next day I called the school and got some information. What was nice about this School was you receive an actual High school diploma, not your General education development (GED). …show more content…
When I received my first packet in the mail, I started it right away. It was all ninth grade work. Once I completed that packet I had to resend it back to the school for a grade check. If I didn't pass any of the subjects they will resend the packet back to you till you get a passing grade. I did this all the way up to 12th grade. Although it took me over a year to complete this, I can now say I am an official High school graduate.
Many people think that not having a GED or High school diploma is not a big deal but in all reality, it is.
If I would have stayed in school life would have been different. A diploma means everything, it is what you are as a person, and it leads to better opportunities in the working field. After working in factories most of my life my body was wore out from the physical labor. So I made a decision to go back to school once again. I applied for college at the age of 29 years old. The list of career opportunities was overwhelming and I had to choose one. It took some time to decide what trade I wanted to pursue and a career that I would like. After one semester of my basics I chose to attend big sandy community college and engage in a two year associates degree as an industrial
electrician.
