Hey, my name is Layla (17), I am going to be attending Howard University this Spring as a sophomore transfer student. I am taking the fall off because I have been forced to join the military due to lack of funds, lol.I’m definitely, what you would call a starving artist. I am a writer (not professional, though I aspire to be), but my minimum-wage job doesn’t support my passion, feel me?I am not religious, though I am a conscientious objector to all things war and intolerant. Of course, this is quite the dilemma for me because I am joining the military. Either that or not go to school. I pick the lesser of two evils, at least I hope so.I don’t see religion as the crutch that some use it for, I see it as a beautiful thing that, like human nature, has the ability to transcend dogma.I plan to pursue an undergraduate degree in marketing and then go on to Harvard or Wharton business school (s) to pursue a dual degree in marketing or international relations and international development.Hit me up sometime!
Lol, not as complicated as one might think. And for those of you who are wondering,yes, I do have a high school diploma. I wouldn't have gotten into college without one, lol.
Can someone have a high school diploma if in fact they dropped out and were home schooled? (Just wondering because I honestly dont know).
And what college are you transferring from?

First of all, I did not drop out. You should read more carefully. I LEFT public school and transferred to another high school program. I am transferring from a two-year school in SC. I have a college preparatory diploma, 27 credits and all, because my new program didn't offer honors classes.
I left public school after I got tired of getting into trouble for stupid bureacratic crap and decided to homeschool myself. I didn't have the option of a teacher, so it took me a little longer. It was correspondence.
Well, what was it like doing home-school via correspondence? Do you think you got more out of it than the traditional high school experience?
im sure that home school had its advantages.... i jus wonder if that is the way in which i wanna have to teach...lol... who ever tought u needs a hug cuz i couldent do it....i wonder is the courseload like....

Oh, I read it right the first time.
You never said you transferred from one high school to another....you said you left and decided to homeschool yourself (whatever that means ).

I hear that. Shoot, it just makes me cringe just thinking about being a regular teacher...I give super props to all those who do it, 'cause I know I can't...
Man down here in Atlanta there was a fight with a studen and a teacher. It was the last day of school and they were in In school suspension. I guess the girl got fed up and swung on the teacher. Long story short... The teacher fought back an somebody has it on tape and now they dont know whether to fire the teacher or expel the student. But I would hate having to teach some of these bad **** kids lol.

Wow. One of my teachers fought back with a student, but they didn't fire her because they knew the kid had behavorial issues. But if you think that's an issue...
a couple of months ago, this kid in my Sociology class; after getting a really crappy grade on his quiz, took out his lighter, lit the paper on fire and threw it at the professor...folks, I sh*t you not. What scared me though, was that the commotion on it only lasted about five to ten minutes...like this type of ish happened every single day.
Moral of the story:
Current and future teachers, you have my major respect.
It was alright teaching myself. A little more difficult than I expected because of deadlines. I had to become a lot more responsible, lol. It was rewarding in that I could pursue my own academic interests. High school bored me to no avail. I wouldn't have been able to do it, staying in public school for seven hours a day listening to those dumb teachers droning about what I already knew.
I was definitely able to pursue varied studies and eleaborate on what I already knew, rather than going over the same material constantly.
And TRUTH, get a life. Seriously. I wouldn't be attending Howard University this spring without a diploma, so put 1 and 1 together, if you can count that high.
