Anyone else graduate high school years ago with poor grades?
I'm asking because before i got accepted to PN school i had to do my biology, math and english courses over. I only had C- in those courses. Talk about embarrassing.:imbar Anyway, i was a very shy person in secondary school and didn't fully apply myself to my studies or even ask the teachers for help. . It's wierd that now 13 years after high school i managed to get high grades(B & B+'s) in those subjects when i took them again 6 months ago. I think things get better & easier in some ways as you get older! :chuckle
My sttory is similar to the last 2- dropped out at the end of 10th grade. Got my GED when my class graduated, but this was the sad thing- When I decided I wanted to become a nurse 3 years ago, I had to go to my old high school to get my transcript. Wow. As soon as I saw it, I started crying, because I had failed, dropped almost evry single class. All I could think of was, why didn't my mom push me? There was never any encouragement to do a thing. So, at 15, if nobody cares, then why bother?! So, I am especially proud of myself now, at 35, for being an A to B range student, but even more than that, I let my kids know what happened, and that I love them and want them to be successful. To take school seriously, to get your education because that is one thing that nobody can take away from you, and it can take you far in life!!
