I'm 17 and in my last year of school.
Last year i failed most of my exams.
But this year i really hate school and cannot be bothered and even when i do try its just not changing.
I want to go to college and do sport coaching with outdoor recreation.
I am involved in alot of sport.
I play and formed one of scotlands first 16's girls rugby league team.
I have also got my grade 1 rugby coaching award. Our team are going into school and teaching younger kids in hope of the development of rugby in scotland.
i also do alot of swimming mauy thai boxing and at the summer i achieved the 3 week classic course award john muir award and rugby ones..
I now want to leave school. i've applied for college and if i get in i want to leave school and work full time until i start.
I don't have many school grade but do you think i could get by with what i'm diong out of school, i am also planning on doing alot of courses like first aid, sport with kids and disabled people aswell if i leave.
Do you think i'd be able to have a career without school grades only my afterschool activities as they are more important to me.
sorry its long

Maybe give some free advice about: School? scrwdlsr666 answered Tuesday January 20 2009, 7:16 pm: If you want to go to college, you must have a high school diploma. i would say you should try to graduate even if you dont want to or you wont end up as top of your class. in the long run, a degree helps. do you really want to have to return to high school at night when you are 30? You could have a career, but i am guessing not a very good one, as college gets you on to pro sports teams and playing on college teams can get you better coaching jobs. awards are valuable, but you need more than that.
