Quotation

I had all my requirements ... so really I鈥檇 only be going to school for a few hours and having four study halls, and I didn鈥檛 really feel like that was useful. I realized the only advancement would be college. Looking back at high school, I see kids still doing the same old things, but what I鈥檓 doing is new to me and interesting.鈥
