School has always been tough for me. For more than 6 years my mind has been rejective of education, and I've had to struggle my way through classes.
After 3.5 years of high school I finally managed to participate in matriculation exams. Equipped with a completely empty mind and a bag of homemade savory pastries, I stepped into the final frontier.
I took exams for five different subjects, from which I was competent in only one (English). Gracefully, I wrote some of the best BS I have ever written to an essay answer, and left triumphantly with a full stomach.
My efforts paid off and I managed to pass all of the exams (English with the highest grade possible). I thought it would be all finally over.
But then it hit me. I still would have to complete a selection of courses before I could matriculate. It was devastating to realize that.
Most of my friends have managed to finish high school already, so I'm pretty much alone in there. School became even more difficult.
After a short period of fruitless half-mandatory education, I took an initiative to get things rolling. With the help of the student counselor, we made a plan for finishing school quickly. I was to enter evening school.
Entering this evening school, dubbed "adult high school", I could cut the amount of the still necessary courses to almost half. This would also mean going to class with completely new people possibly from different age groups.
Today was my first time there. There were only five people there besides me. The atmosphere is mind-wrecking. It's not too pleasing to be there.
But I've made up my mind. I gonna nail this shit. I don't have too many plans for the future, but without finishing school I can't even begin to achieve those few I've got.
I don't give a fuck about my grades, as long as I pass. In fact, I don't give a fuck about school. But seeing it's benefits for future education, I'm so gonna finish it 'til summer.
I'm writing this here as a reminder to myself, so that I won't stray from my decision or that I won't lose my motivation. Fuck you high school, I'm gonna make you my bitch!

Give all your best in this fight cause school will never hold back to kick your ass when it has the chance to do so.
I know you can make it >=)
