Answer 1

I am not religious.
When I feel the need to confess something I come to Y!A and ask, "Am I a bad person?" or some thing like that.
Then I give details.
I get interesting answers.
Then I wait for someone to choose a best answer for me.
If no one chooses a best answer after a week, I might vote for the highest rated answer or the longest answer.

I was in SDA school for 11 years.
(grades 1-10 and freshman College)

I was in public school for grades 11 and 12 and now I attend a public College. I like it better and I do not feel guilty about it.

Although competition can be fun, high school is not suppose to be all about competing against other schools.
School is mainly about learning.

Answer 2

Yes, time will heal most wounds.

Try not to lament the decisions that you have made in the past. When you made those decisions, they were based on your own critical analysis and seemed to be the best solution at the time.

If you now decide that you made the wrong decision in the past, so be it. If you can undo the change, do it. If you can't change what has already been put in motion, accept it and move on.
