This Week’s Online High School Success Story- Tara


Back in the eighties Tara was a free spirit. She didn’t really care much about school. The only part about high school that Tara cared about was seeing her friends and all of the "hot" guys. Tara was into shopping at the mall on the weekends and going out on dates with her boyfriends.

During the week Tara dazed out during class time. After school she hung out and sat in the high school’s smoking area. Things in the eighties were much different then they are today. The kids would meet in the smoking area to smoke cigarettes and talk. The kids would plan parties for the upcoming weekend. Homework was the last thing on their minds.

Tara ended up quitting school in 1986, her senior year. She may have been a senior but she was in some of the Freshman classes, Sophomore and Junior classes. She had too many credits to catch up on so she felt a bit overwhelmed. She finished out the year, but still was short credits and quit high school instead of coming back for another year.

Looking back Tara knows that this was not the way to start off her young adult life. She now is married and has three children. All of her children are in school during the day so now Tara thought this was the perfect time to go back to high school. Tara is quite savvy on the computer and she found an online high school to attend. She likes that she can study and do her homework when her kids are at home and her husband is at work.

Tara only has 2 more weeks left of online high school and she will earn her high school diploma! She is thinking of going back to school to become a Registered Nurse. Tara proves it is never too late to earn your high school diploma!
