You have time to make up your mind. Talk to your school counselor. What are some things that interest you in school, like classes or sports or hobbies? Talk with some other people as well. You do not need to go to college the minute you get out of High School. Sometimes it is even a good idea to go to a Community College as a Liberal Arts Major to get yourself into the college atmosphere and get an idea of what might interest you. All in all, just do what you feel most comfortable doing, and try and talk with some other people about your future.

Well when you are in high school, is some schools there are credits (which is the way I have to do) anyways I have to get 24 credits to graduate from high school to go to college, it is possible for me to be a 3 year grad and not go into my senior year but not quite so sure about 9th grade since I am already in 9th grade.

Figure out what classes you liked the best in school. If you don't know exactly what you want to do, that's okay, college can help you with that. Go to community college if you and your family don't have enough money and you really have no idea where you want to go. Don't listen to that myth that community colleges are easy. They're not. My dad transfered to one after going to a college. He said it challenged him greatly. Go to the Career Center in your school if they have one. They will most likely help you get a head start on where you're heading.

Keep in mind that you are only beginning your education. You don't know if you'll be in college 2 years, 4 years or another 9 years (if you go for an advanced degree). The more prepared you can be right now will only benefit you in college and beyond. Tell yourself that the big picture (i.e., your future regardless of what it is) is more important than the moment. Try and let go of the idea that you have made your final achievement, but rather you are only approaching 1 major step toward loftier goals. Lastly, if you have random periods of low motivation, that's okay. It's normal to feel this way, but just because you feel it, does not make it fact. You decide your behavior, not your feelings. Good luck.

congrats on graduating!\n\ncollege is a big transition, especially if your school is far from home.  new place, new home, roommates, etc.  It's natural to be apprehensive, but don't let it inhibit you....I think you may later rejoice in college life and wonder how on earth you could have questioned it (this happens to me with big decisions/transitions).\n\nEnjoy college and life. Learn, explore, and grow!\n\nGood luck! I will be praying for you. :)

Who cares how it looks to other people? You should be proud of yourself. At least you are trying. It doesn't matter if it takes you 10 years to complete college, at least you haven't given up. That says something great about your character. My sister had a baby her second year in college, so it took her an extra year and a half to finish, but she did it, and so can you. I know you don't know me, but I am proud of you! You are setting a great example for anyone who wants to go to college and make something of themselves. Keep up the good work, and pat yourself on the back. Here, I'll pat for you (pat, pat, pat!)......Take care......

Look into a Pathways program. You can earn college credits while you're still in school. It will save you a lot of time when you graduate from high school.

when i graduated from elementary school i was very proud.  i loved school and studied alot.  then summer came...i cried.  i was happy for the accomplishments i've done, but sad to know that came to an end an what was left was uncertainty.  it's a big transition to go from elementary to the high school level.  you go from being the oldest in your building to the youngest.  that in itself is scary.  then you have to decide what cirriculum you want, college prep, business, etc.  such big decisions for a young person.  add that all together with puberty and it's a crisis.  when i started jr high, i was upset and sick in the stomach for about a week or so.  then i realized, everyone was just as upset as i was and we all felt the same so why not just talk it out.  most people don't want to tell you how scared they are.  it's difficult wondering if you will be accepted or if you will be the nerd.  regardless of whether you are the class president or the class nerd, the best years of your life will be in high school.  after that, you have to get up in the morning and go to work so you can pay your car, house and everything else.  soon you will realize how great it was to be in school with no worries, which when you were in school seemed like a life or death situation.  all the people that ignored you or were just plain nasty will say hi to you like you were their best friends.  but high school will be great.  join everything you can, all the sports, clubs , activities, etc.  it looks great in the senior year book next to your name.  good luck

Is there any family that you can live with in Co until you finish school? This is really rough on you. I would talk to your parents and see if there is someway you could stay to finish school there. Moving before your senior year is really hard on a young person. ( I say young cause I'm 51) Tell them how you feel, maybe something can be worked out so at least you can graduate from the school you have been going to. Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

See yourself where you want to be.  I'm a second year maths student at university.  What keeps me going is knowing where I want to be in two years from now.

More than anything else, I would say you should explore what you like and learn what you have a passion for.  From there decide on how you'll fit that into a career.  I had no idea what to major in when I began in college, but I kept looking.  I was skeptical when they told me that college is a place to explore, but it really is; you just have to be intelligent about it.  Find out what really catches your interest (or heart), and fit your education to that.  After 2.5 years of college, as a former high school slacker, I would say that the most important thing is to enjoy what you’re studying.  You just have to jump into college and learn not to limit yourself.  Learn not to pity yourself when you seem to be studying more than what you think is “reasonable.”  Don’t kill yourself with work in high school; it’s more important to learn what you love to do.

Well you have to think over this carefully and take a decision based on what you like more-your parents or your team.\n\nI personally think in a new school you will make it too the team too and make new friends, but then I am a parent too.\n\nRemember, you have to live with your family all along, and traveling may not seem a good idea once you've to do it everyday.\n\nThink over carefully and I sure that you'll come up with a right decision, either way.

College will be an amazing experience that you can also bring back and share with the people you left behind, who may be having their own amazing experiences. It's natural to feel sadness and even regret when you hit a point of change, and this is not the last time in your life when you will experience it. It's okay to feel what you're feeling. Be good and generous to the people around you in these closing weeks of high school and enjoy the process you are going through. Figure out ways to keep in touch with people, but don't be too disappointed if some of your relationships drift apart. If you feel like you haven't gotten to know as many people as you should have, resolve to do better in college, where some of the barriers of high school will be gone. Some people may tell you that these were the best years of your life, but every year can be even better as you build on the past and create the future. Have a wonderful graduation and an incredible time in college! Good luck!

It all sounds so exciting....but really try hard not to miss school - you only have a few more years and if you are a truly talented rapper you will not miss your opportunity as it will wait for you. Try to be patient, I know it's hard.
