Today, I saw a homeless woman on a street corner holding a cardboard sign. I recognized her. Her name is Kate. She used to sit next to me in my high school AP English class. MMT

Did you help her?

This is so strange, because in 9th grade I was the only one who got into AP English out of the students they'd selected. A few months into 9th grade, however. . . I dropped out. Even "smart" people make mistakes or have issues in their lives that they don't know how to handle. Sometimes they wind up going down a road that you'd never suspect. I knew when I dropped out that if I got better and figured out how to handle the world.. that I'd be okay regardless of having a diploma or not. I have my GED and know exactly what I want to do in life now.

Thank you for the wake up call. I needed it.
