How School Made Me Question Education
Many times over the years I question my education a lot, for example “ would it make a difference if I were to get my Diploma or not?, how will this Diploma help me make it in the adult world if people say I am not allowed to work?, who is willing to help me along the process?” like others I have had my difficult times through out my hole school experience. School only was not for me because no one was willing to help me along the way but then I realized something important one day ‘no one was going to help me get my Diploma but myself’ and everything became a little clear.

By the time I got to high school my life was a roller coaster but I managed to gain control of everything. In todays society I or any one else for that matter really can not do much with out an education/Diploma, no one will take you serious ‘period’.

Even through all of the trials and tribulations of trying to make it through high school, I still decided to continue my education. I have pushed on and tried my very best to go on with schooling with what I was taught and what I have had to teach myself. Throughout high school I had to work on my school work around my parents schedule due to the fact that they work shift work and I have to watch my two younger siblings. Not much has changed in that aspect of life, I still have to work around my parents schedule and watch my little siblings while working a full time job.

The school was very small along with classes, teachers extremely strict and hallways always quiet, the totally opposite from Dr. Henry A. Wise. My first day of high school I was very nervous I was not used to big classes, endless amount of students in the halls and the loud ruckus.
