<p>I attend a public high school in eastern Kentucky and another public/secondary school (School for Life) in Kentucky. Yes, I attend two schools. I attend the public school on regular school days and go to the other school whenever I can and do much of the work on my own. I do this to challenge myself and just get ahead. Plus the school in eastern KY is not exactly top of the line. </p>
