... I just want to say that high school is a joke and i hate :!: it is my fourth year here and for what... oh yeah that lovely diploma that's not really getting any where. I just don't think it's fair to me or any other high school student to get a high school diploma and go to a college and the person next to you got a G.E.D. (Good Enough Diploma). Don't get me wrong... i do plan to graduate from high school... but i'm just saying that it's not fair. but i know that you have to have a certain grade point average to get into those really good schools... but if you're a type that don't want to go to a nice high priced state school or just can't afford it... why should you be next to a student who didn't even work as hard as you did. i think that's insulting anyone intelligence... i don't know if its just me trippin' again... but i just had to say that. :?
And another thing... this is how someones life can be planed for a high school drop out...
go to school until you can legally drop out...
go and apply to get your G.E.D. (they have programs that will pay you for taking it)
get your "Good Enough Diploma"
Go to a crppy college...
Graduate and then get one of those nice jobs that you can sit at a desk all day...
then you can live happy... ever... after.
the same can happen to someone who works hard in Highschool and goes to a good college... how ironic... don't you think :? :?:
i didn't post this so anyone can drop out of high school and get the GED... you really wouldn't want to do that... I don't think anyone here should think that they only qualify for "Good Enough" as young black sistahs and brothahs we should stive for the best... but i just wanted you guys to see what i'm seeing... is anyone else noticing this? :|

i don't think that those who get GED's are any less deserving of going to college than anyone else. there are many reasons that people have for getting their GED that has nothing to do with being lazy and not wanting to work in high school. everyone should have an opportunity to be educated and whether you get a diploma or a GED is not the issue because people still have to WANT that GED meaning that they do want to work for it.
on the flip side, i am ready for school to be over so i can be out of my parent's house. other than that, i think i'll miss this easy living.

...Senior year.I probably was placed in the top ten who suffered most from Senioritis 
It was a damn drag!! :cry:
Overall I managed to still grad in the top 20% of my grad class and I'm happily going to college this fall!!!
