How I Got Here and the 411 on me

Hi,my name is Angela im 18years old im from Queens (not that far). My education has been a ride of a life time ive been to three high schools. I started the first 11yrs of school in catholic school and then all girl catholic school. I started high school in St Vincent Ferrer I only went there for less then two years cause once you fail more then 1 class you get kicked out basicaly. Then I began going to school in Information Technology High school for a Year. While I attended Info Tech i was going through alot of personal things which caused me to mess up and have my head else where. I decided to leave Info-tech because i was getting NO Where FAST. I began City-as-School a year and some change ago and it was the best thing I did for myself. My advisor saved me n braught me back every time ive let my stress and issues get in my way she always has the time to talk to me and call me and let me know what i should be doing. The school is not good only because of my advisor, City-as-School understands where we are coming from and that school is important to us among other things. I changed as a person in the last year or so . I now have so much on my plate but so much more to look forward to when the hard work is over. I currently work at starbucks as well as school and now obviously here at harlem live. I was placed into Harlem live to help me build credits as a internship "volunteer". Soo guys thats the basic 411 on me..anything else about me feel free to ask
