[QUOTE="busywend, post: 278425, member: 391"] OH - ME ME ME!!!! My difficult child (who turns 18 today - Happy birthday difficult child!) will be graduating on June 26th - but I am still keeping my fingers crossed. The graduation risk was gym class. She had failed 2 years and needed those credits to graduate. I got the school to agree that she could take 2 of the 3 gym classes needed at the local community college. For a kid who hates gym, taking 3 of them her senior year would have been pure and utter torture. She finished the 2nd one 2 weeks ago. She is also passing gym at school this year. Phew/whew! We had a big 18th party for her yesterday and I told everyone we would be repeating it on the 27th. So much work and $$$! I am exhausted! Anyway, she speaks of attending the local community college in the 2+2 program. 2 Years at the community college and then if she qualifies 2 years at a 'big girl' college. Her SATs and current grades would not get her in anywhere. In fact I did not encourage applying anywhere so she would not have to get those rejection letters. Congrats to everyone that has a difficult child graduating!!!! WAHOO!!!! [/QUOTE]
