Rant 2 (Freshman)
Previous rant: Link
After spending about six hours debating whether to ask my parents about transferring schools, I finally mustered the courage to do it. They’ve been pretty firm against the idea for months, mainly because it’s a technical school and they’re more focused on me pursuing a college path. But I’ve wanted to attend this school since before high school started. To my surprise, after I took the time to thoroughly explain my reasons, they were more open to it than I expected! They agreed to let me transfer next year if I’m accepted! 🥳🥳🥳
This school prioritizes attendance over grades, which shouldn’t be a problem for me since I’ve only had 8 absences and I have a cumulative GPA of 3.5. I’ll keep everyone updated on whether I get accepted!
That’s awesome to hear! It’s great that you took the initiative to discuss your feelings with your parents and that they were open to your perspective. Transferring to a school that aligns more with your interests and goals can make a huge difference in your high school experience. With your solid attendance and GPA, it sounds like you’re in a good position for acceptance. Best of luck with the application process! Keep us posted on how it goes—excited to hear your update! 🎉🙌
