Below is the work I had started. I was half way through, but it was all just a load of trash. It wasn't a good thing that I read it before I finished it, but at least I stopped to hopefully have something better.

From Scratch
At the beginning of the school year, I was really excited to start. I could not wait to go back onto a schedule, to be assigned homework, and move towards getting my diploma. Since, I am staying back a year, I figured I would get a "School of Engineering" type of diploma. A general diploma requires that you get four credits in English, Math, and History, three credits in Science, 2 credits in Fine Arts, 2.5 credits for Electives, a credit in Phys-Ed, and a half credit in Health; equating to 22 credits. A "School of Engineering" diploma is a bit different and requires you to have a total of 26 credits. I would need to complete 4 English credits, 4 Math credits, 4 Science credits, 3 History credits, 2 Engineering credits, 2 elective credits, 2.5 business and technology credits, 1 Phys-Ed credit, and a half credit in health. That choice gave me a twist in my credits, since I took other credits in those subjects, I will probably end up with more credits than I need.
I chose my classes, and I got a really bad schedule. I have to run from class to class to my college class. As much as I would like to hate it, I keep an order most of the time. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I start from 8AM to 3PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays I start from 9AM to 3PM. Afterwards on Tuesday and Thursday, I run to my college class which is at 4PM.
The school is slow. I am a part of a club called DECA, which is a business club. As well, I was excited to possibly be part of the National Honor Society. Since the school is starting off slow after the changes in the summer, I can only wait for them to let me know when I have to attend meetings and apply. I still did not get my GPA. The teacher just said to wait, and she will inform me of all the happenings.
On the first day of school, I attend all my classes, and I am really psyched to start my schedule. I figure I will be learning a lot more with five day a week classes compared to the three day a week classes I had the previous year. I am also starting my first on campus class which I can apply to my high school credits when I finish. In my high school classes, we discuss the new technology that will be used for assignments and accessing our classes daily. I find it okay, but I really want to get into the materials. I go to my first college class, and it was definitely a lot more fun as I learned about the syllabus. A day passes, I have to leave to go to Boston for a relative who fell ill. It was a stressful experience having to get everything together.
My first week of school is over, and the only thing we did was go over the technology on the new system. The next week passes, and we still are going through the technology in some classes. It is a really frustrating thing, especially that it is five days a week. I just try to calm down, it could all be for the best. Positive thoughts!
I am at my third week in school, and find out I only have two days to submit my application for the National Honor Society.
