Graduated high school in 2002 and will soon graduate from college. Strangely, I don't feel any smarter...
Yeah, other people seem way more impressed by the fact that I'll have a degree than I do. I could have graduated high school a year earlier (since I went to the lowest rated high school in Oregon and everyone else in my school was ridiculously dumb, this is no great accomplishment) and I wish I had graduated earlier because then I would be out of school by now and have less stress.
uhhh school is not for me. i went to a public school that is more like a zoo & i cant stand it. i feel that experience makes a person rather than grades in classes that are mostly memorization anyways. im in the process of dropping out, i will start at a continuation school next year. its not that i dont want to graduate, its just that i already fucked up too bad and i cant fix it.
I'm a 2001 graduate and will be a December 2006 graduate of a university. I know plenty of people that never finished high school though...especially on the west side of Michigan where I lived for some time.
Class of '74 and some college, more career based technical training and testing. And I'm done with that.
Graduated last May...now only to deviate an ingenious plan to afford school...6th in class and couldn't even get enough scholarships to cover half of it. Psshh. Stupid world...
I got my GED in 2003, I graduate from college next year. It benefited me, I am a year ahead from all the kids in my grade. I got one year of college in and got my GED at the same time.
