Post Reply New Topic

my actual question is did you have a plan at school? i just got a modified schedule where i only have to do 50% of the week. did any of you have a special plan?

A plan for school? Care to explain on that? Unless you are talking about an IEP?

Otherwise, I just to a regular high-school with a regular schedule. I only have a tutor once a week who helps me after-school.

Hard to explain. It was always different for me.

Academically I did just fine with the curriculum as it was presented. I was ahead of the class in several areas for most of public school, as was my twin brother. We both took honours math classes in grades 8 through 10. He took an honours English class in grade 10. We both took a career prep program in CADD, but neither pursued it as a career. This meant starting class at 6:50am for our grade 12 year... and we both worked after school jobs. Finishing high school was a challenge with the schedule I kept, as for the last few months or so of grade 12 I was working 2 jobs + school & exams in Physics, Chemistry & English. I had gotten Math 12 out of the way by paying to take it in Summer school between grade 11 & 12, and didn't write Biology because I got kicked out of the class for not taking Bio11 - which wasn't a prerequisite... in hindsight, it was more my lack of social intuition that got my kicked out of that class, as well as Math 12 when I had begun to redo it for a higher grade lol. As a kid all throughout school I was one of the ones constantly in trouble, getting into arguments and fights, annoying teachers, getting suspended from school, being the class clown etc. Aaah, good times.

The next two years of school were the most difficult for me to get through simply due to the pace, and still not knowing for another 11 years after that that I have AS. I went straight from high school into BCIT's school of business and rattled off 130.5 credits of business/industrial engineering in 2 years by the time I was 19. I was also the student association's Chair of Business & Health Sciences in my second year. I have never done anything at such a mental pace again since, as it was ridiculously stressful and overwhelming - especially since I did't know of any of my diagnoses that I know now.. but nonetheless, I highly recommend slowing the college education process down and enjoying it & life more along the way.

Cliffs: I never had an IEP, but I pissed off a lot of teachers.
