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!

I am crying reading this post! Congratulations Lexie. You have given yourself a wonderful gift in that you can truly appreciate the education you have been given. I am so proud of you.
Love,

What did I tell you? I said "You WILL graduate!" Guess what? You ARE graduating!!! w00t w00t!!! The only thing that could've possibly made this better is if they'd let Anthony walk across the stage with you. Then you could REALLY say "in your face" to everyone who doubted you!!!
If you trip it will be an even more memorable night!
I'm so proud of you and your going to do great....like you always do!
I love you!

Man do they like to stress people out. I would have been going crazy. I know that you worked hard and you deserve to walk across that stage without tripping. So proud of you.
I knew you could! Congrats Lexie.
