A Inspirational True Story

[businesswife1]

Hey everyone, Amy here I wanted to write about something Inspirational today. I watched this awesome movie last night and well it got me thinking.

Just because of that I wanted to share with you all a inspirational true story.

When I was in high school and I think they still do it to this day but not sure they had what you call proficiency tests.

I passed them all but the math proficiency test. Actually the very first test I passed was writing which was the easiest for me since I loved to write.

Math was my worst subject…I never did care for the subject and it just wasn’t my subject, period. Anyway, I struggled and struggled to pass that test and the thing that I did not like was I had to pass the test in order to graduate.

In my eyes I should be graduating because I passed my classes and I had all the requirements to graduate but they wouldn’t let me without passing the stupid test. You know what during high school I never did pass the test.

The last test I took before leaving high school I didn’t get the results till the last day of school. I didn’t pass it by just a couple of points! I got on the bus that day with tears running down my face.

My bus driver who saw me in tears was concerned. He was a really nice old man he kept me company on the way home normally. I don’t know why but we just had a connection and understood each other really well.

I would sit in the very first seat behind him and just ask him about his day. That day though I was very upset and he asked me what happened.

So, I told him what happened and he was like it’s not the end of the world. You can try again and you will pass it.

His words were very comforting but at the moment I was just defeated. To me it was the end of the world because I wouldn’t be able to graduate with my friends so I felt like everyone else was moving forward and I was stuck.

After that I had the guts to go to the graduation and watch my friends graduate just to be there for them even though it was hard for me. I was happy for them!

About a year after I decided to try again but this time I wanted better help. So, my mom helped me find someone that could help me finally pass the damn test.

So, I started getting myself ready for the test and the guy who taught me what was on the test helped me a ton because he knew what was on the test. He knew it was like a trick test and there were only certain kind of math to do.

It wasn’t like what I learned from the class I took where they covered everything in math. This right here makes me think that the school doesn’t want you to pass.

After that an awesome thing happened…I finally passed the test and well I was so excited to finally get my diploma. I contacted my school and the guidance counsler called me back while I was gone one day.

She left me the most disturbing message and here is why! She said I didn’t have enough credits to graduate.

The thing is I knew I did and I went to two different schools while in highschool…one was a vocational school and the other was my main highschool. So, I decided to go to the guidance counsler and pretty much tell her she’s full of it in a nice way.

I didn’t want to get really angry and lose it so I decided to kick her in the butt a little differently without kicking her in the butt lol So, I showed up and put on a happy face even though within I felt like kicking her butt.

She told me again that I didn’t have enough credits and I said I’m pretty sure that I do have all my credits.

I said this in a nice way and so she listened and called the vocational school. Here’s the thing I knew the other school would back me up and not only that I knew that I had all the credits it was just that she didn’t want me to graduate for some reason.

When she talked to the lady I knew who it was because she was the guidance counsler over there at the vocational school. She was always the most sweetest person!

She pretty much told my guidance counsler at my main school that I did have the credits and that I deserved to get my diploma. After she talked to her lol I couldn’t help but to smile. It was almost like I was laughing lol but kept it inside.

She then went and got my diploma so my message here for all of you…no matter what you go through never give up for what you deserve in life!
