Secondary School
Diploma)
• Situation: Being a high school
dropout and yearning to go back
to school and get my diploma. I

stay home and babysit for her.
• Task: Appling into high school
and finishing up my courses to
achieve my last few credits.

having.

accomplished finishing high
school, and I was rewarded with
my high school diploma. This
award means a lot to me. I
thought it was hopeless to get, but
I proved myself wrong .
