Dear Sal:
You that you can be what you want. You don't have to be a drop out. If you want you can be an engineer, a writer or a scientist. Did you you know that Albert Einstein was considered a dork by his teachers. If you are bad at school is because you don't want to study. I believe you are more intelligent than most of your schoolmates.
You are free to choose but here there are many tips you can follow:
Communicate.
“Always keep an open line of communication with your parents, teachers and classmates,”
Talk to your parents, teachers or classmates about career realities.
Talk to your teachers about own career paths and the paths of others. They will help them see the differences between gaining a high school diploma/college degree and how many more doors open for the ones that study.
Don’t pressure yourself too much.
If you seem stressed by too many extracurriculars and expectations, encourage yourself to prioritize your education and cut back on things causing yourself stress.
Stay in touch with the school.
Teachers get to see students in the academic environment more than parents do, so if you’re concerned that you are considering dropping out, it might be a good idea to contact the teacher or principal to discuss your concerns and brainstorm solutions.
You can always take a break, rather than quitting.
New college students often find the transition from high school to be harder than expected. Remember that perhaps you can take fewer credits next semester, if you are feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes that can make all the difference.
Consider a different school.
Whether you are in high school or college, options exist for other schools that may be a better fit, whether online or on campus. Explore some of the alternatives that may be available, whether a charter or vocational high school, a community college, an online program or something else.
Consider a gap year.
Many programs exist for students looking to take that year between high school and college, or even during college, off from school. These include community service, cultural immersion or tutoring at-risk youth. Or students can simply take a year to travel or work. Families might consider working with students to create a starting and ending point for this gap year to address any issues the student may be wrestling with, such as financial difficulties or a desire to pursue a different field of study.
I hope that these tips make the difference
Attentively,
