So I've been screwed yet again. Seems everything went for the worst today though at first it didn't seem that way. I scored a 92% on the written test I had to take for this job only to find out about an hour and 15 minutes later that I've been disqualified due to my diploma not being certified in the state of Maryland.....Sounds weird right? Let me explain; My high school experience sucked. I was hated on by both students and teachers for absolutely no reason at all besides the fact that I was quiet and pronounced my words clearly unlike everyone else. That and I got good grades when I felt compelled to do the work. Don't get me wrong there were a good few teachers who I enjoyed as they didn't treat everyone like they were just gonna fail anyway. But as you go up in grades you start finding fewer and fewer and it got to a point where I was catching heat not only from school but also at home and my only escape was to flee from both. So i worked in a horrible habit of skipping school here and there which made my grades suffer. I became known as the kid who was barely ever in class. Sure I've gotten caught here and there but my amazing ability to make people see my point of view at that time kept me out of serious trouble. Well it didn't work after awhile. My grades fell below the minimum and I winded up going to military school by choice to graduate on time. That was fun and all after the niggas there decided to start acting like the young adults they truly were about halfway into the school "year". Well here comes the last 4 days till graduation and I'd caught strep throat and the cot I'd been sleeping in was causing me issues at night which made my neck muscles cramp constantly during activity and even inactivity which put stress on the lower part of my brain causing massive headaches/ waves of incredible cranial displeasure as I like to call it (doctor diagnosis).So long story short, that school screwed me cause everyone there besides the Cadre (Drill sergeants) who worked directly with me, lied about things that kept me from goin back. That and a waver we had to sign at the beginning kept us from taking direct legal action against them. Well any how theres a "School" down in Florida who offered a test or coarses to earn their diploma. I took the test, murdered it and got my diploma from them easy. Little did I know, the school isnt certified in the state of Maryland and keeps me from getting ANY government job available here which includes the Correctional Officer Job I was going for. And to make matters worse, I found all this out as I was being disqualified.....So now I'm left with getting my diploma status handled and joining the military sense that was my final fall back plan....Life sucks. Can't do anything about it sometimes but go with the flow I suppose.....
