For me, it doesn't matter if you quit studying for a short time. The important is you have finished it and graduated with good record. :)

Hey Love, The way I look at it, is at least you went back to finish. Alot of people would have given up at that point and said why bother????? I know I probably would have quit when I was sixteen if it wouldn't have been for my mom giving me a good beatin for threatening to quit lol but I hung in there and also graduated. Wish I would have been there to stand by your side ;)

When I was younger and in high school I started out at a high school that if you didn't have money the other students nose was in the air when you would get around them. I changed schools and things became comfortable and I didn't have to worry about the things I had but only that I was learning and making it through high school. Be proud that you finished high school. Pat yourself on the back because there are many students that would have thrown in the towel because starting a new school is hard. It sound like the other school welcomed you and made you comfortable. You have my congragulations for getting your diploma.
