<p>Again, thank you all for your replies. Your support is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>arghwhy: I certainly do hope that I thrive at whatever university I end up attending. That’s a good reminder. As for why I can’t go back to school, the private school I did attended wouldn’t accept me back, nor would my parents be willing to pay tuition after I ended up dropping out. As for the local public school, the situation is fairly complicated, but really they’d want to hold me back a year due to my medical leave which is something my family nor I do not want to happen, especially since I’ve spent so much time working toward finishing out my sophomore classes.</p>
<p>anotherparent: Thank you for the information. I’m going to send you a PM with a list full of questions if you don’t mind. Watch out for that.</p>
<p>snowbeltmom: Again, thanks for the information. For the AMC, would they send an “official” proctor if I did it at a library or would anybody unaffiliated with me be able to proctor it? I’ll try to call a lot of schools early to see what exams they offer.</p>
<p>NeedAVacation: That’s good information to know about the PSAT. I’ll keep at practicing for all the SATs necessary. I’d definitely like to find a homeschooling group or team that is fairly competitive. Do you know how I might find one in my area? </p>
<p>sbjdorlo: Yes, I am near local high schools and in a decent sized city. I’m in a rough situation with my parents. They really don’t find homeschooling to be an option, yet at the same time we have no other options. So, they’re kind of letting me create my own curriculum and leaving me to myself. They seem willing to pay for textbooks, but not much more. I’m making all the calls–literally, all of this calling to schools to see if schools offer exams I would have to be the one to do which is unfortunate given my severe social anxiety. So, in short, they are not very willing to help except for things I absolutely couldn’t do myself and absolutely require. So, I will be the one making the transcripts, buying textbooks and application fees with my near-minimum-wage job, etc. which makes me kind of scared. At the same time, I see it as an opportunity to be very independent as well as responsible for my own education. A part of me wishes they would be more involved but another part doesn’t.</p>
