Im a High School Junior and would love some assistance

Dec 14, 2015

Hi, My name is Stacy and I'm currently a high school junior and would want to speak to any current teachers or counselors. I have a question regarding college, courses, and just school in general. So if theres anyone out there who is willing to help me, I'd appreciate that a lot.

Before I get unto my question, Im going to state my current situation and problem. For several years now, I have always been an honors student and had a decent GPA going with a 3.5 on a weighted scale last year. I even started taking a AP class and ended up passing the exam. Though I decided that for this year I wanted to go into homeschool which I believe was one of my worst mistake as a honors student and Im now feeling that my future is hindered. At first I had very good intetions for switching into homeschool and there were already personal reasons on why I felt like I needed to be in homeschool. I felt I was allowed a lot more freedom than I had with public school, that I was able to broaden mor...See More

Stacy Sorry, I wasn't finished and I ended up accidently pressing submit. Well I wanted to quickly add that I know that going back to public school would only mean long nights of work with no rest and just no time for my family or other things. So that was also one of the reasons why I'm hesitant to go back. Now unto my question, I'm worried about how I ...See More

a mom and a teacher I hope this advice will help you. Most colleges are now actively recruiting home schooled students.

Colleges are reducing their emphasis on your grade report and increasing an emphasis on your being a well rounded person who is capable of dedicated study. You sound like that type of person. Play up the fact that you desired to design your path of studies and that you desired to round out your experiences. Just because your plan did not go off perfectly will not count against you as much as you think...since many plans in life do not go smoothly. Go to a college fair and talk to some recruiters. I think you will be greatly reassured. Many students your age hit a bump in the road. You will sail past this and onto your goals. Good luck to you.

A First, WHY didn't you register for the classes you needed? I suspect it boils down to time management. If I had to pick the one single thing my students do poorly -- top students, poor students, whatever -- it'd be time management.

Reading between the lines, I'm hearing that you don't have strong family support for homeschooling. One of ...See More
