The story about school
As far as I can remember, I’ve ever hated school. I tried to play truant all lessons. Sometimes I was sure that I would drop out of my school, but fortunatelly I didn’t. When I was 3 years old, I didn’t go to preschool, nursey school etc. I lived with my grandma in a little country. There wasn’t even state school. That’s why, my dear grandma decided to teach me on her own. We did a cirruculum and started work. I was a very good student. I learnt reading when I was only 4. My grandmother once called me a bookworm. She was sure that I would become a writter. But it’s all end soon. I arrived to a city in 1996. My mother enroled me to a private school. It was the best school in the town. I had to pass the exam for entering to the first grade. I did. Moreover, it was too easy for me. I was hit in my first day in my new school by my classmates. I was the youngest in my class. I couldn’t do anything. When my mother knew about it she went to school with anger, but director wanted to listen nothing. As a result, i just was dropped out. After it i went to a typical state school. It was better, but I had already broken. In high school I used to get only D marks. Of course, I didn’t think about higher education.
The story about school
This is fine, but ''A story about school'' would be more fitting in the context of posting on this website.
As farlong as I can remember, I’ve ever hated school.
I tried to play truant all lessonfor all my classes.
Wow, I did not realise you could ''play'' truant. I had to Google this. You are teaching me English now!
Sometimes I was sure that I would drop out of my school, but fortunatelly I didn’t.
When I was 3 years old, I didn’t go to preschool, nursey school, etc.
I lived with my grandma in a little country town.
There wasn’t even state school.
That’s why, my dear grandma decided to teach me on her own.
We did a ciurruiculum and started work.
I was a very good student.
I learnt reading when I was only 4.
This is OK. You could also write:
''I was learning to read when I was only 4.''
My grandmother once called me a bookworm.
She was sure that I would become a writter.
But it’s would all end soon.
I arrived toleft for a city in 1996.
OR: ''I went to a city in 1996''
My mother enrolled me toin a private school.
It was the best school in the town.
I had to pass the exam forto enter ing to theto first grade.
I did.
Moreover, it was too easy for me.
I was hit in my first day in my new school by my classmates.
This would flow a lot better:
''On my first day I was hit by my new schoolmates / classmates.''
I was the youngest in my class.
I couldn’t do anything.
When my mother knewfound out about it she went to school with anger, but the director did not wanted to listen nothing.
As a result, i justI was dropped out.
If you decided to leave:
''As a result, I dropped out''
If you were made to leave by the director:
''As a result, I was expelled'' OR ''As a result, I was made to drop out''
After it ithis I went to a typical state school.
It was better, but I had already broken.
In high school I used to get only D marks.
Of course, I didn’t think about higher education.

TheA story about school
Since this is probably one of the many stories you have about school, you should say "A story".
As far as I can remember, I’ve everalways hated school.
I tried to play truantattention in all lessons.
Is this what you meant?
Sometimes I was sure that I would drop out of (my) school, but fortunatelly I didn’t.
You don't need to add "my" as "drop out of school" is a set phrase and it is clear to the reader you mean your own school.

Thank you so much for the corrections!
You've really helped me figure it out.
I would like to clarify about double negation in English. Is there any difference between these sentences?
1. The headmaster didn't want to hear anything
2. The headmaster wanted to hear nothing

As a result, i just was dropped out.
I got kicked out of school
Is that correct in this case?

For both of those sentences to make sense you would have to add "of it" on the end. For example " The headmaster didn't want to hear anything of it" or "The headmaster wanted to hear nothing of it"
I hope that makes sense :)

Yes, that would make more sense!
