Want to move schools


Question Posted Tuesday June 19 2007, 11:48 pm

Out of about...6 months of school I've had around 45 days off school because school has become such a big issue for me...and I don't want to talk about it.

Anyways I might be moving back to my old high school and have an interview tomorrow. Because of the days I've had off school it slims my chances of getting in. I have to bring my report card.

If I was a really good student my grades would cancel out the days I've had off, but going to school or not going to school I'm not the best student.

I only have two things going for me: When I used to go to that school I had an A+ report card (But this was 2 years ago) and it's really close to me. These won't hold up...

What are other things I can mention so I can get in?

I would mention that you can't do anything to change the past, but (and obviously I don't know you, but I HOPE this is the truth) that you've changed and are working hard to not repeat your same mistakes. Share with them your goals and what you hope to achieve in the next couple of years. Kiss ass and tell them ways in which their school could help you achieve those goals and how you would be an asset to them.

You might consider volunteering, picking up some extracurricular activities, or joining some kind of youth group. Anything that makes you look like an individual who has turned his or her life around is going to make them want you. Finally, if you do get back in, put some effort into it and don't make them regret taking you back. Join some clubs and committees and get more involved in the school. They'll like that a lot.

It might suck for a while, but you'll get over it.

mention your future plans and how this means a lot to you. explain to them you had a tough time in your other school but you are ready to work hard. do you play sports or participate in any clubs? if not would you want to? tell them all about it and tell them you want to straighten up and you really think changing schools is for the best. promise to keep on top of your work..and if you never had behavior problems..let them know about that too.
