I'm graduating in June from highschool!!!! We didn't know if I was going to be able to. As most of you know, I've had pretty nasty drug problem for the past 5 1/2 years and spent more time in rehabs and psych hospitals than in school. Nevertheless, I was able to scrape up enough credits to walk down the aisle in June... to make things even better, I'm graduating Cum Laude! To be able to graduate with honors makes my head spin. I entered my 9th grade class as one of the top 10 out of about 600 kids, but threw it away along with most everything else in my life... this is just amazing to me. I'm going to the community college in my city and then transferring out to a four-year school.

Guys, I am just ecstatic. It's probably like, okay big deal... highschool... but I really didn't think this day would ever come for me. I just have to share it with you guys!! I must thank everyone here as well for their continuing love and support over the past years... it means so much to me :hug:

Congratulations. Graduating with honors is great. I graduated from high school (May 1998) Cum Laude. It sounds like you are proud of graduating with honors as well. I hope college goes well for you.


It really is an awesome feeling. :D I graduated high school Cum Laude too (June 1987) and I was on cloud nine for about a week when I found out.

Congratulations, you set and reached your goals, despite major obstacles in your way. You have a lot to be proud of.

Yay! That's wonderful news. This just shows you have fighting spirit and you'll do very well in life.

I was 13 out of 495 (or something like that). I don't know what that was...no one said. I think I was doing good to even get to stand up special at the ceremony. Jerk school. pissed:

I never doubted you Karly. Congrats!!!

Congratulaions!!!

Absolutely FANTASTIC Kay!!

This should prove to yourself just what you can do - and through all that adversity!

You've got your whole life ahead of you - hopefully you can put the drugs and depression behind you and start a new chapter that will be filled with success!

I'm so happy for you and proud of you. You should be extremely proud of yourself Girl!! :happyface
