In 2009, I submitted an application to Nation High School (NHS) with the aspiration of becoming the first college attendee in my family. My initial interaction with NHS proved positive, as I engaged with Alan Johnson, who conveyed a welcoming demeanor and a commitment to facilitating my academic journey. He assured me a swift acquisition of a high school diploma based on life experiences, and I proceeded with a $75 down payment and a comprehensive phone test, totaling $275.

However, as I traversed through the process, skepticism arose regarding the expedited nature of obtaining a diploma. The ease of the procedure raised concerns about its legitimacy compared to conventional high school experiences. The life experience test, covering the preceding two to three years, scrutinized professional engagements, educational pursuits, and personal achievements. After a 30-minute conversation, Alan Johnson communicated my successful attainment of a high school diploma through this unconventional methodology.

To fulfill the diploma requirements, I settled the remaining balance of $200. Unfortunately, my optimism gave way to disappointment when I applied to Durham Tech Community College, only to face rejection due to NHS's lack of accreditation and failure to meet college acceptance criteria. My educational aspirations were impeded, and the pursuit of a degree or trade became a formidable challenge.

In my endeavor to seek clarification from NHS, particularly from Alan Johnson, my efforts proved fruitless as he was purportedly away fetching coffee. Desiring a refund as promised in case of college rejection, I encountered resistance, with NHS urging me to apply to multiple schools and asserting that Duke University would recognize their diploma.

The situation escalated as I uncovered Nation University, an entity fabricated by NHS. Refusing to enroll in another potential scam, I declined payment, leading to a contentious conversation where NHS staunchly defended the legitimacy of their diplomas. When seeking a refund, I was redirected to Bryant, who, instead of addressing my concerns, emphasized the school's accreditation and longevity, asserting its thirty-year history with ten thousand successful graduates.

Growing increasingly frustrated, I demanded a refund, but Bryant, citing the elapsed time, declined. Subsequent attempts to contact NHS went unanswered, leaving me with a spurious diploma and a profound sense of disillusionment. I caution individuals to exercise discernment and avoid Nation High School and other schools like it, as it lacks tangible benefits and may lead to financial loss and frustration.
