I didn't want to go to another high school - it can be difficult enough starting high school anyway, so I wanted to be with my friends from primary school.
But because I didn't get in, I'm now having lessons at home. It has been like this since last July.
Dad marks work
It's really difficult, not mixing with anyone during the day - and it can be really boring.
My grandfather helps me with my lessons and my Dad marks my work when he gets home in the evening.
Hanging out
I get to see my friends after they've finished school and I sometimes do homework with them, so I know what they've been doing.
But I really miss not being at a school, being with friends and hanging out in the playground.
Miss art
I also miss not having lessons too, I know a lot of kids would love to not be at school, but I actually enjoyed it.
I miss art classes the most, it's my favourite subject.
I'd be overjoyed if I had the chance to go to the same school as my friends.
Wait and see
I wouldn't mind if I was held back because it would mean I could catch up on all the work I've missed.
I'm hoping to find out soon if I've been accepted in the high school I want to go to.
I'm tired of being at home and just want to be back with my friends."
