    Default Taking the plunge

    So I am hoping when my mental health is better that I am going to be able to go to college. It has been a long time since I was in school; I have my OSD, but no grade 12 credits. So tonight I went to the local High school night program and am now taking Grade 12 College prep English. I will be taking others as well, but you can only do one course at a time. It is self paced so there is no stress to rush. I am hoping that this will help prepare me for when I do go to college. It only cost me 40 dollars for my book deposit.

    Your education is something that can never be taken away. I hope this investment repays you well.
