I grew up Unschooled, is college possible?
Lil story time, Unschooled is like Homeschooled, but your parents don't school you for anything and don't let you do Online school either. -it's formally called Truancy and is illegal in every state in the US-Luckily I used khan academy and love the sciences. So I never fell behind much, but because (Even when I begged my mom to let me take online classes because I wanted honors and AP programs, but she said no because it will take time away from her with me) So I got my GED and most of my stats are 80% percentile, im doing my SATs this month and next month, my score projection should be 1250 to 1300. and a 1250 is greater than 75% of students accepted at the college I wanna go to.
But I don't have a GPA, and I wanna go into Biology, Just to my state school. and almost no one goes into biology without honors or AP. And not to mention applying to colleges and explaining that I graduated from freaking Tacobell dookie university.
And sadly community college isn't an option for me, as that would require me to continue living with my mother. and I wouldn't wanna go either.
Its just so hard being Unschooled, I feel like my GED scores are Phony and meaningless, all i've ever gotten from the abuse if faced is "Awww tough one, buddy"
And i'm not stupid, but I feel like no university would want an Unschooled person.
Like my parents really ruined my life before I even got a say in it, and when I did I wish I didnt, I wish I could say they did it on accident, like✨I was accidentally neglected. but it makes me sick to realize my parents did it for control.
I wish I had classes, I wish I ate lunches alone, I wish I accidentally fell asleep on my desk studying for an AP I wish I didn't enroll in, I wish I could time travel back in time and call CPS. but i'm grown now, and need to let go.
So is college possible?
EDIT: So im going to community college, I know this post is old in reddit terms but I just wanted to update. and I even got my mom reluctantly to do FAFSA, and I got a huge pell grant. College is possible and I hope one day I can post a success story here.
