i've decided to go to school.

eh, I've come to find that there isn't much to the word "friend"... I have few because I only need the few people I love and care about. Most of the time, I care more for friends than I do for family.

 

I'm going to start an institution for the research of clean technology and restoring the enviroment. My parents want me to finish high school and go to a good college, but I don't see what for, given my aspirations. Before I set up the institution, however, I'll probably do some work with computers or astrophysics; one of the two.

 

Sometimes I wish I could move somewhere like fiji and live as a local fisherman or something.

 

I dont care about school, as long as i get my diploma, then im set. I havent really learned anything other then music theory jargan this year. Public schooling is great to meet people, thats about it...but im sure if you study you will learn somethings (which i dont do )

 

I spend my days studying, listening, and playing music, most of the time. I write a lot, as well.

 

YES YOU COULD! If your state accepts homeschooling, then there is most likely a certificate you can get that is equal to a public high school diploma. Actually, I'm almost positive about this. When I was in the seventh grade, I homeschooled for half the year and I know there was a way for you to get a certificate somehow. Just look it up, ask around. It's there, you just have to find it.

You're probably right

It really only matters if it is important to the individual. How other people may judge you about it (whether good or bad) is not pertinent.

Whether homeschooling or attending a public school, the quality of your experience really just depends on yourself and your personal drive.

Very true.

I think s/he was just wondering, not necessarily disagreeing.

The link isn't missing...People just haven't found it.

Maybe you could use college to help with your aspirations. Like, say, you could take classes on clean technology and the environment and, even if you don't graduate, come out with some good knowledge of the subjects that may really help you reach your goals faster. Hmm??

 

ohh...like indiana jones hahaha

 

Chasing after the holy grail with yo fahjah.

 

haha my ma came over not too long ago and she stole some of our indiana jones videos ahhaha...fine with me. hezzy used to play them all day long everyday

 

I think about this sometimes, and it makes me want to go back... but if you are really concerned about your future, you wouldn't give a shit... most likely, none of thsoe friends will be of any help to you, and, in my case, i will have stopped talking to all the people up here by june. what's the point?

 

indeed. hahah... well i figure i'm better off at school now, just because it has more opportunity for me and it will get me off my ass.... i honestly have no social life in town, and i've become something of a hermit. plus i've been top of my class all my life and.... well corny as it is "don't hide your candle under a bushel." hahahah my dad has been saying that to me forever. and he's right. i think homeschooling, or my idea of it, is only a convenience to me now, and i wasn't exactly thinking about post-secondary life...so i am now. i might want to attend university or something and not just a community college. i'm just sick of doing nothing, and i'm not going to do that for the rest of my life.

 

Lemme know if you find out what happened to my femur. :H

Good luck!

 

I know what you mean Meg.. I think I might do good in homeschool, because Patty is exactly right when he says grades are not a real measure of intelligence. If you're obidient and can be bothered to do the work, you can do well, if not, you probably won't. I tend to learn much better on my own... I learn a lot on my own, actually. But the main reason I've stayed away from it (besides parents) is the fact that like you, I'd be in the house ALL DAY and never see anybody... and well, that's okay for awhile, but it's really not so much fun to live like that long-term.

 

see katie, this is why we're sisters
