Cool, I graduate in 2 years.  And I believe if I keep this up, I might make honors.
Title: Re:I graduated!!
Post by: iastreb on June 16, 2006, 06:32:57 AM
yeah, why?
Title: Re:I graduated!!
Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 16, 2006, 06:36:32 AM
Careful not to slack off.  I did, and luckily it didn't hurt me much, but out of a class of 316 I placed 14.  My junior year I started in around the same, if not a little more, class size at rank 4.

And yes, Whocares, in some places school keeps on going into June.  Schools that start in August end in May and schools that start in September end in June.

I'll graduate in 6 years. I'll start 7th grade. So many more years of torture.  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Title: Re:I graduated!!
Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 16, 2006, 06:48:30 AM
It's not torture if you cooperate and open up your mind to what the teacher is saying.
Title: Re:I graduated!!
Post by: Mysterious F. on June 16, 2006, 06:53:06 AM
I do, but I know much of the stuff already. I'm not learning anything, also, school is making me sleepy.
Title: Re:I graduated!!
Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 16, 2006, 08:09:44 AM
Then see if you can be put into more challenging classes.  That's part of school; to challenge yourself.
Title: Re:I graduated!!
Post by: Mysterious F. on June 16, 2006, 08:15:32 AM
No thanks. Of all schools, mine wouldn't even think of that in middle school. And the after school stuff, never! I use that time toget away from school, not stay in it. Are you mad?

Congragulations Hi no Seijin. Free beer for everyone!  ;D

Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 16, 2006, 08:27:04 AM
Yes, but not in that way.  And the only problem I had with school was some of the people I had to go to school with.  I'm telling you, school isn't that bad.  You just have to be willing to have an open mind and be prepared to step out of you comfort zone.  You won't get anywhere in life if you don't strive for your goal.  I didn't get my honors stole and tassel because I didn't go the extra mile.  I was willing to work hard for it.  How we will know our limitations if we don't try to go past them?
Title: Re:I graduated!!
Post by: Mysterious F. on June 16, 2006, 08:30:28 AM
I work in school too, but you're right, the only thing that should be a real problem in school is the people in it. Like those gay guys. If only they were girls, then we couldn't share locker rooms in gym. Also, a "friend" of mine named *put name here* was very mean to, well, anyone. Luckily, he's held back.
Title: Re:I graduated!!
Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 16, 2006, 08:45:12 AM
Nothing wrong with being gay.  If it makes them happy, they should go for it.  Society has no reason to say what they can or cannot be.  Didn't Thomas Jefferson say that we had the God-given right to the pursuit of happiness?  And no, I'm not gay.  I just don't see why we should fuss about it.

Getting back on topic, it's good that you are working, but you should go past the bare minimum.  It saddens me that people rather do just what is required rather than doing their best.  We had a lot of honor grads, but we could've had more students graduate with honors if they weren't so happy with a C.

Post by: kamakaziplumber on June 16, 2006, 09:04:10 AM
Class of...

*Counts on fingers*

2009!!!

But I'm already in honor classes. Taking two AP classes next year (10th grade)  ;D It'll be good to finally get away from some of the kids I had in my class this past year. Complete idiots.

Anyways, Hi no Seijin, only 316 graduated?? Wow. My high school has around 4000 students in it (total), so... wow. I guess a lot of kids drop out or get held back, eh?
Title: Re:I graduated!!
Post by: alex on June 16, 2006, 09:08:07 AM
i loved 7nth grade! im kinda nervous about 8th grade
... i gotta change shcools and stuff. plus theres like 1000 people in my grade! so we have to divide up into "pods" and it's really anoying cus you get seperated from your friends :'(  
Title: Re:I graduated!!
Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 16, 2006, 09:08:51 AM
We had more, but some dropped out or moved.

Careful with the AP classes.  Only take it if you think you need it for college.  I'm going to major in Forensic Science, so I took AP Biology and AP Calculus BC my senior year.

And thanks. ;D

Yeah, well, I'm still not absolutely sure what I want to do, so right now the AP classes are really just for credit. And to be with my friends, coincidentally.  ;D

And so you're message under you're avatar has a meaning. ;D  Congratulations.

Well, if you're not sure what you want to do, I suppose that's okay.  I recommend you decide 11th grade so you can start applying to colleges, but if 12th grade comes around and you still haven't decided what you want to do later in life, don't fret.  Some colleges (maybe all of them) have an undecided major where students take various classes.  By their sophmore year in college, they should know what they want to do and transfer to that major.

Post by: Gamefreak on June 16, 2006, 09:53:16 AM
I have teachers telling me I can be head of the class if I keep on course.  I'm the only person in my grade with any real political thinking.  I've pretty much alienated myself from my class because of my philosophy that most people are idiots.  I only hang out with intellectual peers.  Not to be immodest or anything.

If you ignore them, they stop eventually.  If they don't stop, just keep on ignoring them.  No point in wasting energy on them.

The School Board (curse them) is redistricting next school year, so where I went to high school is about to get a whole lot more students.  Can any one say, "More pootables, please?"

When I graduated Jr. high my grandma sent me swarovski crystals (a little graduating cap and diploma) and that is the brand that paris Hilton decorated her cell phone in. You know its quality stuff. The better part is I'm the youngest in the family and nobody else got anything when they went to high school. ;D ;D ;D

Wow.  Graduating from middle school?  It's not like your get to take a year off before you go to high school.  I'm sorry, but that seems kind of pointless.  But, hey, you got a gift, didn't you? :)

Title: Re:I graduated!!
Post by: Hi no Seijin on June 21, 2006, 06:12:07 AM
 :o  Paris Hilton is about the most idiotic celebrity the paparazzi report on.  She's only famous because she's rich and she's the heiress to the Hilton hotel chain.  She doesn't even know what a microwave is.  My paper reported that she parked in a handicapped spot and wondered if she is handicapped, but she's just too stupid to know that that spot is for people with a physical handicap.  Neanderthals were smarter than she is.  We can't even come up with a "Your IQ is so low" joke for her; she's that stupid.

Tell me about it. There's a kid in my classes like that. Not only is he an idiot, but he's a jerk, too. And yet, he gets everything he wants and more. He had a car before he even had his learner's permit.
