I did it!

Well, those of you who know I dropped out of High School after finishing my Freshman year. My grandpa had passed away suddenly in the beginning of the school year, and my grandmother followed him after school ended.. We were currently living in Michigan when this happened, and so due to my grandparents deaths, esp my grandpa's (who I was very very close to!). We moved to Illinois, and having lived here before previous times, I hated the school system here, so my mom let me drop out (not only due to that reason, but because I was taking the deaths of my grandparents hard (very hard!) at that time. I had been going for my GED since 2010, and haven't gotten nowhere with the classes, tried switching to a local college, but that still wasn't helping me. So finally my mother and I sat down and talked about online schooling, witch my mother goes to college online so I know a little about it, so we googled some online schools that offered GEDs.. well we found a school that offered the "High School Diploma" so I signed up for that school! (after googling and making sure it wasn't a scam and it would be credited for colleges and it was!) I took the High School Equivalency test and PASSED on the first try! Now I only have to send in $275 dollars and they will mail me my diploma!!

I am so happy to say that I am a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE!!!!
