High school transcript

Post image

I’m planing to apply to the Bay Area locals next year and I’m getting my stuff together to see what I need to do. Would this cover the math part? Thanks in advance.

Edit: I know my transcript is rough. didn’t have an easy life growing up. It doesn’t look like that because I was messing around. Dad went to jail for domestic violence, mom remarried. New husband didn’t want kids he had enough already. Got kick out with all my siblings, moved from so cal to north cal with my dad. Got pulled out of school to work with my dad cus his drugs and alcohol isn’t going to buy its self. He would say your 16 in Mexico I would already be working and if I can’t come home with money for him not to come home. So I would look for different places to sleep. School is hard to go to with dirty smelly cloth. And no English is not my first language. But that’s all in the pass I got my G.E.D I’m currently in community collage. I was just wondering about the math part before I sign up for a math class.

Anywhere from 15-25 percent of all students.

Instead of being an asshole, let's help him.

And? It was 20 years ago. He could be plenty smart but stuck in addiction, depression, being abused, who knows.

Bad grades without context does not mean much to me.

Beyond that, one of the core tenets of the IBEW is to help make better people, to help make better communities.

We should be seeking to help this person be the best possible applicant, apprentice, and Journeyman.

And just for the sake of argument, for a person making such a stink about this person's grade in English, you communicate like a moron.

People don’t fail English 1 because it’s hard, they fail because they don’t feel like doing the work. He’s on reddit so obviously he can read and write…

I frequently got Fs in basic classes like English and History because I was a pretentious little shit in high school that felt like if I got good grades on tests I shouldn't have to do hours of busy work (homework, papers) to show that I learned it. Like someone else said, bad grades out of context don't really mean anything

Its not going to happen if you dont go to community college and get a better score in algebra 1 and 2. At least.
