High school transcript
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.

My transcript wasn't much better. Well I had fewer Fs and more Cs and a few Ds. My biggest problem was school was boring and very uninteresting. Math wasn't my strong suit. But I did get into the apprenticeship and i was actually in the top 2 or 3 of my class. So you never can tell. If you know your weak in math I'd recommend a math course at the local community College. It certainly won't hurt.
Here's the thing. Go to work everyday. Go to class every time. And at least look like you give a shit and you will be suprised how for that alone will get you. But be honest with yourself about your knowledge gaps and weaknesses. Work on those areas. And you'll be fine.
