<p>There's no real way for me to full state what I want to in the title box, so here it goes. </p>
<p>I am 24 now, when I was 16 I was expelled from my high school. I still graduated on time from a different school, but in transferring from my community college to a university I'm not sure how to deal with the subject. </p>
<p>The background: I was expelled because this one girl I was friends with in high school called the sceretary of our school from my home phone and gave a death threat. I turned her in the next day and was still expelled, however some leanancy was given to me, I believe simply because it was clear I was guilty by association, its not on my record. I have offical copies of the high school I graduated from as well as the one I was expelled from. There's nothing about an expellision or anything. </p>
<p>The transcripts have a box there called Reason for Leaving, under it one says "Graduated" and the other simply says "Public in Dist." It also states me leaving that school when I would have graduated, not when I was expelled. I have searched every box and I can't find one thing in there that says anything about it. Here are the transcripts (the only info that is marked out are ones which somehow identify me: imgur:</a> the simple image sharer</p>
<p>Here is my explanation to the school that I am applying to under "Have you ever been suspended or expelled from any school":</p>
<p>"When I was 16 and in high school, a friend I had at the time choose to make a prank phone call from my house that I did not condone. She threatened the secretary using the phone from my parent's house. I kicked her out and the next day I turned her in. However, I was suspended for the rest of the year despite my not having any involvement other than that person using my phone. I was still able to graduate on time by attending another school. </p>
<p>I learned a very big lesson from this event. I learned the importance of the friends you have and how the things we do affect our opportunities the future may hold for us. </p>
<p>Since then, I have managed an impressive GPA in college, an internship with the Democratic National Convention Committee in the department of Communications and Public Affairs, joined a LGBTQ group called SPECTRUM at Central Piedmont Community College, and even joined Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. </p>
<p>Please, let this mishap in no way affect your decision."</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the insight! I want to be as mature about this as possible. I am even considering simply making an appointment with admissions and just seeing if I can explain it face to face.</p>
