Best American Letters in the Mail

Hello, my name is Brittany
I want to talk about my experience at youthbuild Philadelphia charter school. I could talk about other experience I been through but I'd rather talk about being at youthbuild.
Okay so by the time I got in the 7th grade I started to hate school so much with a passion. I got kicked out this school I was in and got put back in my old bad neighborhood school where I've got into so much trouble there. So this is where it all starts from me dropping out of school in the first place. After I graduated from the elementary bad school where I always was in trouble at I ended up in my neighborhood high school where was not much better and trouble still found me there too. I started in the 9th grade there. I was not in school for a week yet and I had gotten into my first altercation there with school mates. From since than I always was in trouble there I was in arguements and fights more than doing school work. I was not being taught in my classes they were boring. To be honest I don't even know how I made it to the 10th grade there but I did. I started my 10th grade year there and I started off with cutting classes because I still was not learning nothing in my classes and it was boring. I still was getting into fights too as well getting suspended alot this time and I was not in school much. The last time I was at my neighborhood high school was when I came back from a 2 week suspension and after that I enrolled into a drop out program all because my old school was trying to kick me out of school and I did not want that. I got to this new school and dropped out completely basically. I found out about youthbuild and I got accepted into there but I did not get the chance to finish out the 2011-2012 year due to personal issues.
Things changed for me as I had to leave youthbuild I gotten myself together and did everything I had to do and suppose to do to be able to get another chance at youthbuild to change my life.
I re-applied for Youthbuild for the class of 2013 in the beginning of 2012 to try and get back in the program for high school drop outs because it's a very great program for people like me for sure it is.
I had to go through a tough process to become a student at Youthbuild and I'am very relieved I made it through that process. Here I'am a student at youthbuild in the 6th session out of 8 sessions still trying my best and keep pushing. To be very honest youthbuild changed my life alot, it gave me the attitude to not give up on something that's so difficult for me, because that's what I was always use to. The staff here are very supportive and they always know what to say to me or us to keep me going and pushing. That's why I wanted to talk about my experience at Youthbuild because it's a place that turned me around when it came to education and life period. I'am not yet finished at youthbuild but I'am getting there and I will not be stopping at all. We get certifications and post secondary education and a high school diploma too as well at this program. I would recommend all high school dropouts to attend Youthbuild Philadelphia charter school to get they're lives back on track.
