SCHOOL

My school life as a whole has been pretty okay. But over the past few years of high school (I'm a senior) my life seemed to crumple. School is a big issue for me. I have an IEP (individualized education plan) which makes school torture. In middle school I made friends with all of the smart kids (all of the kids that weren't idiots and who used common sense) and they were great to me. but when we entered high school we were separated into smart, average, and dumb. As a freshman I was put into the dumb category. My friends looked down on me so I never told any one which classes I was taking. Every year I tried my hardest to advance and get school smart... But all I managed was to make it into the average category.  I hid myself so well my teachers didn't know I had learning difficulties until I really struggled and by then it was too late.

This year I have been lucky enough to escape public high school. I for my senior year transferred to an online home school/ charter school. I am much happier at this school. Even though its all independent and I don't see my friends all day every day this is one of the best decisions of my life. I went from being less than average to genius within a few months. Its not the material that changed its how I learned the material. I can't believe I actually suffered through 3 years of high school before actually being happy.

And that's my school story
