My name is Michaela Richey, I was expelled from Sarasota High School on February 13th, 2012 for possession of marijuana. I realize now that I have made a huge mistake and that it was a horrible decision. I used to blame others for my mistakes but I have taken full responsibility for my actions. I feel like I deserve to go back because I have made a huge change since then. I have gotten a job, volunteered my time, gotten my gpa up from a 2.0 to a 3.6. I've been clean from any kind of drug for 7 months. I just want one chance, one chance and I know that I can prove that I have changed. I am willing to make this petition and meet with the principal of the school if he is willing to meet with me. If I could just meet with him for five minutes I would tell and show him all the reasons to why I deserve to go back and how I would be the best student I could possibly be. So if you take a few moments out of your day and just sign this petition and share it with your friends I would be more than thankful.
