Hi. Random. But as the title states. I've been homeschooled my entire life. No joke. Never been to any school of any kind. No online, not even kindergarten! The most I have is... Well, literally walking in one. I've always wanted to go, because it was something people my age had in common. (Also so I don't have to lie all the time about my education.). How they'd meet, make friends. Heck, every show or movie I watched with people my age were either in middle school or high school.
As you may guess, I never felt normal because of it. Dispite everyone around me telling me it was, even though I'd lie about it to... Well, literally everyone. Even my grandparents. (This is not a sob story by the way, I've had an interesting life, which most I wouldn't change! I just wanted to paint my situation of why I don't have a transcript.).
Now, as a 20 year old, working at my GED. (Getting it in a few months, thank God.). I'm now getting concerned about College.
The one I really want to apply for is Juilliard. (Real ambitious, I know.). But. It calls for a transcript, and a person of recommendation - who's not a parent - about academics. Both of which I don't have.
I've always wanted to go - or at least give it a try - to Juilliard ever since I was six. I love music. Singing is my livelihood, I wouldn't be me without it. And Juilliard is known as one of the best for the arts. (I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.).
And applying doesn't mean I'll get in, I know that! I just want to at least know I tried to achieve the dream. If I don't get in, that's okay too, it's not the end of the world. But I want to at least have a chance.
I guess I'm asking, do I even have a chance at all with my circumstances?
