I didn't drop out, I went all through all 14 years of schooling. But, at the end of my senior year I was one credit short because I failed the second semester of my AP Writing class. I only failed it because I don't write first drafts. I sit down, write, and when it's done. I'm done. I don't make mistakes in my writing.

I always got 100's on the papers, but it didn't equal out because I never turned in rough drafts or first drafts.

Anyway, when I went to the summer school to make up the credit, they had 2 teachers there who didn't know my subject. One teacher even told me if I needed help, he didn't know what to tell me because he couldn't teach my subject. Then I open up a book with 200+ front/back worksheets and each and every one of them are from the first semester of that class. Not the second semester.

I had to get all 200 worksheets done and get at least a 90% on them, without any help. I said, "Screw this." and walked out. I got my GED and got...you guys won't guess..a 420!!!! I got high honors and my GPA is 3.8-4.0 now.

I got accepted into a college and I'm starting in January, moving down in late November/December.

When I tell people I didn't graduate, they ALL look at me like I'm pathetic. Even my brother who FLUNKED OUT OF COLLEGE called me a loser behind my back to my family (he thought I was sleeping in my room). FUCK those people! You don't have anything to prove.

If you want to get your GED and go to college, more power to you! But, are those things really necessary for you to believe you're not a loser? I don't think so.
