Dear Pastor,
I am a 15-year-old who will be 16 soon. I go to high school in the United States of America.
I have changed schools several times because of my father. I have enough credits to graduate a year early which would be next year. For me to graduate next year I would have to go to summer school this year to do one class, then I would accomplish what I need to graduate next year.
The problem is that my counsellor and college career director at my school suggest that I stay back for another year. They think that I should stay back and take some advance placement classes since I only had it in the 9th grade. I do have friends though who are graduating with the same basics that I have and some others with less.
I am moving to another State next year and I want to go to college, but I am confused because of what my counsellor and director said.
Please give me your fatherly advice. I need some help in deciding what to do.
N., Philadelphia
Dear N.,
Your parents should discuss your problem with your counsellor and director, and be guided by their advice. They have your interest at heart.
Pastor
