i can not believe i am going to go back to school.
 

When i was in high school i did not do very good. For a few different reasons.
I intend to get my GED and go to the marines i could not since i had cancer and my doctor would not sign off that i was clean even though i had been since i was 4.

When i was in the 11th grade i got in a car wreck and missed 4 months of school. So i quit when the school recommend i go to a school to gad. on time. It was full of trouble makers and criminals. And i was 18 and on probation I figured two weeks before i got into it with someone and got arrested.

Well i go Wednesday for a prep class to take a test to get into ivy tech.
If i do i can get paid by the V.A since my dad is disabled from service.

I figure if i can focus have the energy on school i do on hunting. I will be getting all A.

One thing that worries me as most of you know i am not good with English. Maybe some classes will help you guys read my post.

Good Luck!! It is never too late to go back to school. And the Marines, at least yu tried most would not even do that. I tried for the Marines but failed the test................................ I could not fit my head into a jar..............but no one fails the Army's test. If no other service will take youcome to the Army, they always have open arms.......................by the way I have 14 years in the Army and counting...........

Good luck big guy,
I'm thinking about going back to school myself, to try to get an associate's degree. It's a scary thought since I always did pretty bad in school. I just keep thinking that I'm going to be oldest one in there, including the teacher [8D]

no i tried but could not get my medical cleared. i had cancer and need a doctor to say i was cancer free. He said he would need to see me for 5 years to say that and i had been seeing him since i was 14

He asked me and i quoted the greatest war movie (full metal jacket) I said i want to be the first kid on my block with a confirmed kill. He laughed and said fill this out.

Bad in school was not the word for it. I had 11 1/2 credits in 11th grade when i should have had like 28. It was not that i could not do the work i just did not. i made start As in 10th but moved and they would not use my grades from my other school so i failed all but two of my classes.

Just a LITTLE help for you, Tim.....:D

RE: i can not believe i am going to go back to school.
 

LOL Now you see why Iam worried.

RE: i can not believe i am going to go back to school.
 

Best of luck to you Tim. Going back to school will probably prove to be one of the best decisions you will have made in your life. I have a lot of friends that said they would take a year off between high school and college, so far only one of them has actually enrolled in college and he is now doing fine. But my other friends are not faring so well with just their diplomas. Go back to school, knock that out, then continue on to some college - any college, Tech schools are great - they're all over the place, affordable and they can set you off into a career very quickly.

The last thing I will say is this: Don't be afraid to ask for help. Being a Supplemental Instructor the last couple years (Teaching Assistant more or less) I see way too many people who will not ask for help when they need it, they are the ones who will benefit most from what others and myself have to offer, but those are also the ones that will fail in the long run.

best of luck. I believe that you'll always achieve what you want to achieve. Work hard and you'll be just fine!! GL sir

I returned to College to work on a degree a year or so ago, and I am about to earn my Associates Degree. Like most people, I was nervous about returniing to school after being away so long,but after you get started, it's like running down-hill, youjust can't stop.

Now I'm planning to transfer to the University, and in one year, I'll have a Bachelor degree.

JUST GO FOR IT - you will not regret it!!!

RE: i can not believe i am going to go back to school.
 

The worst thing I did was drop out of Highschool. I got a job right away though, then went and got my HSED/GED, still worked full time for quite a few years took some college courses got a degree in written communicationsand then decided to go to the Police Accademy. I only completed 1 year do to family matters and money issues. I then started working immediately after the Police Acc. and have been here since, that was over 7 years ago. Good luck to you and keep it real. Life goes by too fast to throw it all away.

Words we should all live by. Good luck with everything, the first step to get back in is the hardest. Once your in Im sure you'll do fine.
