I appreciate this piece so much. But I wanted to ask you a question, how did you feel after you wrote this piece? Was there any type of relief. Highschool can be very hard at times and for others all the time so I give you that respect for staying. I would have like to hear an interview on the guidance counselor, though. She was the one that instead of guiding you in the right direction she didnt, and there are so many students out there like you. I know I was one of them. The point of dropping out when you feel backed into a corner feels like the easiest way to go at times. I hope you finish. You have made a good piece that was personal. Your story is one of those stories where there could have been more interviewing. Good job and I hope you do well.
