As to my graduating high school, well I will shortly, a year later than normal, something I am quite proud of given that I dropped out of high school in grade 10 because I ran away from home because I was being sexually abused by my uncle. A situation in which my parents were complicit. As soon as I found a settled place to live, I re-enrolled and I will be graduating in the spring, and attending university in the fall. <I've already been accepted at 3>
The fact that you feel throwing this in my face will in some way insult me or diminish me in the eyes of anybody shows just how little you understand me, or human nature. Repeatedly reminding everybody that I have overcome a bad situation with a minimum of disruption to my education is more of a compliment than anything else. And since I will be covering the material from grades 10, 11, & 12 in the span of a single year to the satisfaction of at least three major universities, you are in fact publicly affirming that I am actually very intelligent.
I'm sure that this wasn't your intention, but that's OK by me, I'll accept your inadvertant praise with good grace.
Thank you LafayetteLady, that was kind of you to repeatedly say publicly that I was very intelligent like that.
Heather you have no idea what I think. I think you have great potential from an intellectual standpoint. But what you do around here is not the appropriate way to make a point and until you learn how to do that,e you won't get far in those universities. Your typical position is "no that is not right, this is right. Those of you who think that is right are ridiculous, asinine, etc. That IS the behavior of a tenth grader who has not yet learned how to present a valid argument and you don't.
Personally I don't care that you were molested by your uncle and your parents did nothing about. That is one sob story out of a thousand on here and not even close to the worst story. Should we give you props for not becoming a drug addicted porn star given what you went through?
You could be accepted at 10 universities in Canada, but once there you need to learn how to present a paper that actually makes a point without being argumentative or taking the low road against your opponents. You started out as a very well spoken young lady. You have descended into an angry young lady who will say anything to make herself seem more right, more important and smarter than anyone else posting. That may get you points at home, but it won't score well with university professors. Know why? They tend to be like judges and when in their class room, you do what they say, how they say when they say. Of course you are free to choose not to but then you won't stay very long and would miss a really great experience.
Learning how to present your points and argue them from Hannah is not the best idea in the world.
You know, having read this post and the one below it by cheri, I can see why some people could easily perceive a bullying attitude by you. I am actually surprised (and saddened) by this.
No one who has experienced molestation should have to face derision for simply telling what happened. That is why that Secret is too often kept a secret and subsequently why abuse continues.
LL I don't think Heather is "an angry young lady", I do think however that she is rather fed up with posters like you.
Edit to fix typo and thanks!
