From reading the comments here, people seem to think I'm dropping out and don't plan on going to university. Let me clear that up.
I'm going to get a Certificate of Profiency (I'm currently waiting for the results). In California, it's legally required to be seen as the equivalent of a high school diploma. It's essentially a GED for people under 18.
I plan on going to a high-end university in 1-2 years.
What's going to change at the university? I mean sure they have more variety but aren't they incentivizing a credential? Are the teachers there magically more fun or interested in teaching you?
The author will find out that not much is different in University. They might even find out that University professors are even LESS incentivized to teach specific students things then grade school teachers are.
Strong will and individual drive to learn define great university students - hopefully this kid adheres to that path and capitalizes on the opportunities University will open up for him. But he's currently dropping out of High School and trying an alternate route because it doesn't meet his rather ill informed expectations - if this occurs again at a higher educational institute, he will be making a mistake.
One thing I've noticed about recent high school grads: they all seem to think the world should meet their expectations and if not, there is something wrong with everyone else. University is a great place to have that attitude beaten out of you. If you don't come out of University humbled, you didn't go to a good one.
Message to the author: university is going to kick your ass - start preparing for it. If you do so, it sounds like you have the attitude and drive to do very well for yourself. But make sure you learn what you don't know before you start to solidify your opinions on things.
