Towards the end of the year I started getting pretty nervous if I was going to graduate or not. I had to take 3 regents exams in order to graduate this year & walk across stage with my class.
You're supposed to take your regents in 11th grade so your stress-free your senior year, but of course I screwed up my freshman year & failed the whole year, sooo I was taking junior & senior classes my senior year. While most seniors got to come in late or leave early, I was there allll day. I had a lunch every other day, & that was my only free period, but I still didn't usually eat lunch, I was usually studying or doing homework during that 40 minutes.
Well I studied my BUTT of for those regents. I was supposed to find out all my grades on Monday. I found out one on Thursday, I passed the U.S History regents. Monday I found out I passed the Math regents, & passed my business math course(I didnt have a regents for that class but a final) Then comes tuesday. I'm waiting & waiting to hear from my English teacher to find out if I can graduate or not. Of course they keep me waiting & didn't call until Wednesday. My English teacher called & said "What the hell were you worried about? you got an 80% on your English regents, I'll see you at graduation" That was SUCH good news to hear. I almost cried. I'm almost crying typing this!
I can't believe I'm finally graduating. I can't believe I'm walking across stage. I remember my freshman year I had completely planned on dropping out. School wasn't for me & I had "More important thing to do" untill I got pregnant with Anthony I was 100% sure I was dropping out. Anthony has saved me so much. I know I wouldn't be walking across the stage if it weren't for him.
Before I even found out I was graduating I went & bought my graduation invites, my dress, my cap & gown & planned 2 parties. I ended up spending about $160 & I was very nervous I wouldn't graduate & that would be a huge waste of money.
But I no longer have to worry.
This Saturday I'll be walking across stage. Now all I have to worry about is tripping!
