Finally Free

I have finally graduated from catholic school, and I am happy to never go back.

My family is catholic. But I went to public schools pre-k through 8th grade. I moved a lot, so I have been to great public schools, okayish ones, and bad ones. I moved schools half way through 8th grade. My new school sucked big time. It was a poorly funded school unfortunately, and it was a bigger school as well. Despite that I was districted to go the 7th best ranked school in our state. It is a well funded, beautiful with amazing facilities and programs. It was a big school, but I was very excited to go. Then my parents broke the news to me as I was signing up for my freshman classes, I would not go. I had no choice or say in the matter. My parents were sending me and all my younger siblings to a tiny falling apart Catholic school 45mins away.

My parents did not want the "woke agenda" to affect my education. So they stripped me of my of educational opportunities to send to a school that is on the verge of shutting down every single year. There is less than 8 total electives depending on the year. We had poor facilities. This year there was only 18 highschoolers. I feel my parents paid a huge price tag to send me to a school that frankly offers a education that is not even as good as the public schools. The amount of health code violations is insane.

The last four years have not been great. The only time I was truly happy at school was the first half of my senior year. At the beginning of the second semester there was an incident that made the rest of the school year suck. It led to a lot more incidents.

I can finally breathe. I will finally be able to socialize without having to guard my conversation incase the catholic morality police were listening. Not even joking a "Catholic Identity Committee" was created this year. Catholics are seriously the meanest group of people I have ever known. I still have to go to church on Sunday, (my parents condition for living with them) but I am used to that. It is only one day a week.

I can finally breathe and I am so happy about that.
