CAHSEE still kills dreams

For those who don't know what "CAHSEE" is its California High School Exit Exame and is what all High school student must take to pass and able to walk during graducation to some its important to others they don't care if they walk or not but too me it means the world to me. I have taken the CAHSEE when I was in 10th grade everyone in 10th grade takes the test I didn't pass the first time nor the second or the thrid or fourth, fifth but on the last one I passed with a 353 finally I have pass the test that had me crying for years.

See the thing is I thought I was going to pass but I would still walk because I have "SLD" which is a learning disability and I have a IEP which are meeting I have with people and them seeing if I',imapproving or not I have very much so even if I didn't pass my CAHSEE I would still walk but that doesn't apply to evryone unfortunately...

My new best friend Daniel is probably the funniest most caring amazing friend in the world he's gay and the best guy friend I could have ask for you get the best of both worlds so he hasn't passs his CAHSEE like me at the time and I felt like I knew he was going to pass he study he has the class he was improving so I felt he was going to passs while I didn't then today happen.

May 10, 2013 Its Daniel's birthday he turn 18 and I was so happy for him I had order his gift so it wasn't going to come in until Monday so I waited for him to come and he did but was sad I scream "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!" and he just noddded and I was puzzle so I pulled him away and we talk in the library where he told me his news, I was waiting about his mom talking shit about him again but he didn't say that he say something else.....

He told me he didn't pass his CAHSEE that he got a 349 one point away from passing.....his tears came out and I stood shocked that I didn't even know what to say I felt so horrible and wish he had gotten the better grade it was his birthday and yet this happen to him when he doesn't deserve this when he worked so hard!

CAHSEE is a waste of time and dream killers how could the school kill someone dreams like that! How could they say no to someone who has been working there ass off to get somewhere yet here where we are 2013 schools are still killing students dreams ripping away from their hope and yet they feel no emotions for these kids? do they not have a heart?

Damn them for killing my good friend dreams how dare them kill his hope....I feel remorse for him and sorrow and so helpless :(

  1. This deserves to be an article. Or maybe made into an opinion piece to send in to the (real) paper. Shore up the anecdote about your friend, sprinkle in some statistics (how many are in the same boat), get a couple of quotes from students and faculty, and boom!
