Derek Mills:  

I would like for my classmates to remember me by my nick/ name Baby Saint ! and I was also the vice President of the student Councils from 1973 to 1974 alone with Joseph Norton who was the President, at McLaren Occpational High School. I did'nt graduate with my classmate on August 15,1974 , and it because I let myself down by not getting all my Semester credits in from 1972 to 1973 each semester I was suppost to have ( 2.125) but in my first two years of high school I was getting a ( 2.625) which cause me to loss my spot and graduate with my classmate and I really felt bads. My ! Counselor Mr. Armstorng, had me to come to is office and explain to me, the bad news but he did it with style and it because he would alway tell me to go to class and be the best that you can be so when you garduate you! will make me proud of you Mr. Mills. Oh no! I would not listing because I had playing on my mind and it didn't pay off for me. My other Counselor Ms. Montgomery would tell me the same exact words Mr. Mills you need to pay more attention to your study and not play so much because one day you are going to be dispointed, and I know that you are a good student. Now! I' am in Mr. Armstorng office, with a Hundred-thousand/dollars Smile on my face two weeks before graduation I has just pay for my cape and robs and got my class/ring, I was on top of the world. I just knew! I was being call to Mr. Armstorng office so he can tell me, how proud I made him. But that was not the case, the first thing Mr. Armstorng said to me was have a seat ! because I have some good news and some bads news to tell you Mr. Mills which one do you want to hear first. I reply while smiling tell me, the bad news. He said while smiling you! will not be graduatioing in two weeks with your classmate and it because you don't have enough Semester credits to graduate in (1974). He show me! my high school transcript and he was rights from ( 1972 to 1973) I mass up bads. Mr. Armstorng said ! now here the good news you are going to have to do a whole semester over to make up and get your credits back so you can graduate coming next year, because I told you! to stop playing in class and do your work or you will be this dispointed one day. Now! want Mr. Armstorng! finished this conversation with me, I could have pass out in his office. I was lost for words I could not tell my familys or my friends that I would not be graduating with them in two weeks. I was really mad at myself and I couldn't crys, because I didn't feels sorry for myself for playing a fools game, so I took the advice of Mr. Armstorng and made up my semester credits and did graduate in 1975. Thank ! to Mr. Armstorng and Mrs. Montgomery. ...Expand for more
