Anyone else finishing school?

=] i finish school in les that 20 school days and can you say excited to never have to return their !!
anyone else feeling like me ?!
do you think uz will mis it !

CLASS of 07 !

I would be...all my friends are but i'm doing yr 12 over two years coz i'm special

I'm leaving school this year. I'm only in grade 10. But i have dreams and im not going to be able to accomplish them at school...its not like im learning anything anyway.

^ If you're not learning, that's your problem, probably not the school's problem. What are your dreams? How would school hold you back from them?

I'll finish by summer of 2008. I would of graduated in 2006, but I dropped out in grade 11. Doing correspondence and I'm pushing myself to be graduated by the summer. So then I can go to College!

I'll be class of '09. Then off to college and boot camp. Not to excited about graduation. It's nothing that important really. And there is always one thing I will miss: the chance to hang out with my friends and do uproarously stupid things to pass the time.

I'm just starting my junior year. It's cool so far. High school is really simple. Or at least it is for me. I always heard how hard it was going to be and all of that stuff but no it's not hard at all. High school years have been the easiest educational years of my life so far. I'm very happy that my parents got help for my ADHD and dyslexia when I was young. Otherwise I might still been struggling in school. I was pretty bad when I was younger. Now I'm fine. I do much better than many of the 'normal' students with no learning disabilities. I'm very proud of myself.

It will be my senior year this year
Next year this times I will feel like you
Awee,will be registered for a college next year *sighs*

I'm in school because I like learning. AND I can't have the frickin job I want without school...GAH. Darn you Vet School, DARN YOU!

I'm not learning anything at my school thats going to be very useful i meant. Sure i learn things, but i'm not going to use them in life.

I wanna travel...i wanna work.

^ Not necessarily true, there are plenty of jobs that don't require a school education. Maybe she wants to be in the circus, train dogs, be a writer, a painter, a photographer, a farrier, open her own antique store or restaurant, design clothing, be a librarian, a waitress, a stuntwoman, a professional race car driver, an inventor, a musician, as assistant to a professional (vet. for instance), etc.

But I do NOT understand why she claims that she isn't learning in school. That seems a little ridiculous.

Thetasteless - I'm sad to announce that you won't achieve your dream if you won't stay in school, sorry.

My dream was to be a member of the RCR in the Canadian Armed Forces, I dropped out of highschool and achieved that. Do not lie to the girl.

Alriiiitie than. I'm still leaving school. I have my plans, i have my dreams. I know how to achieve them. I've learnt things at school, but i dont need anymore education to do what i wanna do.

Lizzy, I believe you may be talking about education, not just the school system. If I never went to school, I would probably still learn to read and write...I would pick the skills up from watching my friends and family. But, my point with the list I made is that...past grammar school, school isn't really necessary for plenty of decent jobs. The thread poster knows how to read and write...there is some solid evidence in the creation of this thread. Haha, so let's see if she will EVER tell us what her dream job is (she keeps avoiding the topic), and then we can judge if she should go back to school or not.

Exactly WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO!!!!!!

you said

I wanna travel...i wanna work.

want to work where?

I don't know about you but when you are travelling most places require you to be atleast 18 years of age. also travelling requires doe ray me which you can only get through working and without a proper education or experience which you don't have because your only like what 15/16 it will take ages to save up enough money.

i suggest you think through your so called full proof plans further because you'll probably end up regretting it

Strike that...your 14...goodluck lovey you'll need it

I'm going to tafe...getting my certificates in child care. You dont need to be 18 to travel...never heard about that. Mum says its okay to drop out. She is supporting my dicision...if i make a mistake, i can go back to school..

Best of luck to ya. You may be young to make this huge decision, but it is your huge decision to make...and I think even without the diploma, you have a shot at being successful. I know quite a few people who are highschool dropouts and doing just fine, then again, it's all about your character. Are you determined? Do you present yourself well?

Blah, good luck. And yes, you can always go back to school, don't forget that.

I agree with Jagulera (is that how you spell it??)...school does not guarantee succeeding in your dream career...there are plenty of jobs that don't need required class education...i think this girl wouldn't mind going to school to learn about child care, i think that's her point...she may rather be trained for her dream specifically, and start sooner than later...

Yup.

Well to check into hotel's, motels etc you usually have to be 18 and if your under 16 you need supervision on planes. and you wont be able to go to bars, clubs so many places because you wont be legal. plus in a country where you are extremly unfamilar with the suroundings and are only 14 years of age then you are just open to vulnerabilty

I finish school in like 60 days

I'm a Senior of '07. ;]

I see that you are also from Australia, so that would make sense that you only have about 20 days left, as do I.

I'm nervous, excited & scared. I don't want to leave, yet I do at the same time.

Graduated last year, 6/6/06... I did online classes, went to college for Psychology in Aug 06, had to drop out due to personal problems, but plan on going back. :)

I think its very important to have a HS diploma to fall back on, just incase the dreams do not become a reality. Its alright to dream, but reality isn't a dream...reality is reality and at times, it will hit you in the face when things happen.

Good luck whatever you choose though!

To be honest, I have some college credits and I've noticed Meijers, Walgreens won't even hire me for a cashier job .. their excuse was "no job experience." Since I was worried about my education more, they considered it a waste of their time to hire me, which I think is nonsense. I can't even get a basic job without a manager judging too quickly. So, keep in mind, education sometimes doesn't matter to some managers--they're quicker to hire ones without an education than one without out an education.. Fact: They have to pay people more that have an education...so, good luck even though I highly believe in an education.. its more important than any deadbeat job experience that managers want you to have, just to work for them. ::Sighs::

B r o k e n xx,

Do you ever question yourself...about what you want out of life? I hope you do get to travel...and do all the things you want to do...but I also hope people won't turn you away for a job cuz you didn't finish school.

POWER TO YAH though
