this^^ so excited and happy for you!! can’t wait!

Tumblr, I have a mission for you

So, I’ve always been a pretty terrible student. I was what teachers not-so-subtly referred to as “The Problem Child” because my autism, anxiety and depression often get so bad that I can’t really get to class much, and that makes it harder to get work done, so I end up failing a lot of my classes, unfortunately. I’ve been to six schools so far, and I’ve struggled like hell at all of them. 

But now, I’m in my Senior Year of High School. I have insufficient credits, so I’ll end up graduating a bit later than most other kids my age, but I’m closer to getting out of this hell-hole than ever before. And I want to do something special for when I finally do, so I have a request for all other Tumblr users:

When I manage to Graduate, can we please throw an Online Celebration?

Because honestly, whether it’s a simple Congratulations to a Celebratory Gif to a Piece of Art or a Written out Piece, anything and everything would be appreciated on my big day. I’ll reblog this with the Announcement the day I Graduate, so you can all know when to celebrate. I can even post pictures of the ceremony (if there is any) and my reaction if you’d like. Please reblog this to get the word out, and if you feel so inclined, please try to do something special when I make the announcement. 

I’m sorry if this sounds stupid or selfish, but this is a really really important thing for me, so literally anything kind would be appreciated once I give the go-ahead. Graduating has been a big goal for me; ever since I was 6 years old, I never thought I’d be able to do it. So I want the day I finally do to be really special. Please, please be kind about this, because I’m honestly very excited and emotional about this. Thank you all so much for your kindness, it really does mean more than you could ever know.
