I’m 19, living in Florida, and I need help. I dropped out of high school during my Junior year because I was lazy and wanted to enjoy my youth. Now at 19, I realize the importance of having a diploma and I’m ready to put in the work to earn it.
I’m passionate about computer programming and have already started with CS 61A. My goal is to get at least a bachelor’s degree, but without a diploma, that seems challenging. I work night shifts and sleep during the day, which makes attending traditional school impossible. I need a virtual school that I can work on during my downtime at work.
I’m on a tight budget and can’t quit my job, but I’m dedicated and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. I have goals, determination, and I’m motivated to make this change. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
You can enroll in any accredited online high school for adults and study so that upon completion you will be issued with your diploma.
Look into accredited online high schools specifically designed for adults. These programs offer flexibility and allow you to work at your own pace. They are ideal for individuals with busy schedules or work commitments.
I would recommend that you enroll in BYU online high school. The school offers an adult diploma program for ages 19 and older. You can choose from approximately 150 courses, and the program is self-guided. They provide support from teachers, tutors, and peer mentors.
Obtain a GED, One well-known substitute for a high school diploma is the GED. Your academic abilities are at the high school level if you pass the GED test. Online classes, self-study, and community programs are all options for GED preparation.
In Florida, graduating from high school only requires your parents’ approval.
Check out Khan Academy’s free online courses if you need more coursework before starting college. I would notify the community college closest to you that you are a graduate of homeschooling and that you are concerned about falling behind. Tests may be required to determine if you are prepared to enroll in classes for credit or whether you need to attend remedial coursework first.
After attending a community college for a year or two, you can transfer to a four-year institution and start building a respectable transcript.
