i have no problem going to school and doing my work
if it wasnt for my body always coming down with
weird unexplained illnesses all the time and only
during the school year. my doctor said it is because
of stress but i never really feel stress it's just unconciously until it turns me sick
today i got an anxiety attack and felt just lost and
confused sometimes as to where i was
i dont think if i do stay in school it'll do good because
im always either 1. missing school cause im sick, or 2. im in school but cant do my work because im sick
last year believe it or not i missed a whole marking period at one time because i came up with a mysterious rash
ill have a whole year and a half to study for my GED and ill hire tutors and stuff if i need them
and i wont be going to college because there are special schools just for massage therapy and i can go to those
and i know i wont freak out there because im going to have a lot of hands on work and ill be doing something i actually like
also i might take business classes at the community college in case i want to one day self employ myself and atleast then i can pick the hours i wish to go to school for that and it wont be five days a week
i would love to continue through high school
but im just sick of being sick it gets so tiring |
You have just described myself at your age. Sooo... as the voice of someone who has been through the exact same thing I am going to disagree with everyone else here and say do it.
Fact 1: if you are that sick you will not be able to graduate with the "shiny diploma" anyway.
Fact 2: the people you work with to get your GED will also tally your class credits you have already earned and set you up with GED classes that are worth the last credits you will need for a State authored Adult Education degree. Once you pass the GED and you have those credits all you have to do is send in an application to the state and you will have your diploma.
Fact 3: with that diploma you can mark a high school degree on any application and it will not matter you didn't walk through a 2 hour line at High School.
Fact 4: if you don't have all the credits you need through the GED program you can take the classes at a local college and get the credits that way (the way I did it).
The most important thing for you right now is to get your system, your body back in good health or it will affect your health for the rest of your life. I should know.
Now I have just one more thing to say and I want you to listen really carefully, if you haven't yet
get yourself tested for food allergies. We didn't find out till I was nearly 27 that my health issues were caused by an undiagnosed food allergy. The allergy combined with the stress caused an utter breakdown of my immune system. It also did the same thing to my sister and now she has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. DO NOT take any chances with your health. Find out what you are reacting to and do it as soon as you can.
