 So when we left off I was getting help for my depression, with pills and newfound support from my dad. So far it's been getting better... Thought it got worse in the beginning. more fights struck out between both of my parents about my unwillingness to go to school. they were mainly fighting because my grades began to drop drastically. Eventually I cut in and told them another reason for skipping classes. This has to do with JROTC. I used to love it, I had friends there and I was thriving however the last two school years it has gone so down hill. We had lost one of our instructors so one was doing all the work. having to take over everything. I understand his frustration; however he is the adult therefore he should try to handle it better than he did. he began taking his anger out on the students who were trying to help as much as they could, one of them being me. I would get into trouble for this i had absolutely no control over or things that were above my rank. For example I am not allowed to tell my commanding officer to be quiet, he can tell me but it doesn't work the other way around. I got yelled at for not correcting my company commander. Wow. Anyway that was my Junior year, this year it had gotten worse. At the beginning of the year during registration he apologized and promised me a leadership position. Saying that I would be in front of a platoon. Then when class began I got the role of a squad leader, not even the first squad, the last one. I was just fed up with how things had come to be. So I stopped going, I told my parents that and my dad got me pulled out thank god. Well knowing my luck, one good thing happened another bad thing was bound to come along and take it all away right? My dad and I had gone to speak to my counselor and it turns out that because of all my absences I was not going to be allowed to pass my college classes. I was taking three of them. Anyway I need these credits in order to graduate, so in so many words she told me I wasn't going to be able to graduate. Great.... My worst fear had been realized. 

The next day at school knowing that I couldn't graduate I didn't want to go to my classes there was literally no point. So I went and spoke to my counselor once more. And finally something good happened to me this year. She told me that my college classes were being offered second semester for ten credits rather than five. Meaning that if i take them and pass them all next semester I can graduate without  having to pass them this semester. YAY. Finally a break. So ya actually school life is going well I have fourth period off to just chill because I'm no longer in that hell hole called JROTC. And because I can't pass my three college courses this semester they are just "study Hall" so I draw and hangout lol. The only classes I have to pass this semester are Civics, Chemistry, and Theater Arts. Which I can do easily. Hell I already have an A in theater. So yep things are going great. Though the thing I'm afraid of now is applying to colleges. I don't know how to apply for financial aid and I can't go to college without it. Smh Wish me luck....


Oh and one thing I didn't write about was homecoming only because it wasn't that interesting anyway here are some pics though.
