I’m 30 years old. I dropped out of high school when I was 18 and in the 10th grade when I dropped out of school. I felt like a very dumb person cause I was a very slow learner. I always wished that I could  be as smart as some of my friends and family members but some things were harder to learn than others. I just found out that I was born with a tumor on my brain that was my problem of figuring things out. But I want to get my GED and maybe get in a field that I know that I’m good at. But I need to find out how I can get help with online classes. (more…)

I went to a private christian school in Missouri called Heartland Christian Academy for the last three years of high school. I was behind from being in public school and so I worked extra hard to get caught up. I studied 5-8 hours every night and on holidays and weekends for those 3 years and I managed to get A’s and B’s on my report cards. I graduated in May of 2000. I did not plan for college right away but went into the military. About a year ago I finally decided what I wanted to go to college for and took my first two classes. About a week from the end of the courses I found out that I would be kicked out of college at the end of the semester because my high school was not accredited and therefore my diploma was not worth the paper it was printed on. Needless to say I made an A in both college classes but was not able to keep the college credit and now I have to get my GED. (more…)

I felt like school wasn’t for me. Like every one else, I was so good in 6 thru 8th grade. when I got to 9th I was still good. That’s when everything fell apart when we came back from winter break. I started skipping class with my brother’s girlfriend, even with my brother. At one point I loved school. I didn’t want to miss one day. I started to hang out with the wrong crew. My family always said that can happen. That if you hang out with the wrong people that can really mess you up. I wasn’t really listening to them. I was thinking like, that can ‘t never happen to me. Trust me, it can. I was 16 years old when I had my baby. I love that she is her. I just been thru so much stuff with my mother about my baby. My mother even beat me. She treat me like I’m not her child. (more…)
