I had to think to myself what I would do if i actually dropped out, plus what was I going to tell my parents if I actually did go on with this plan. I wouldn't want to disappoint them and be the only person in my family to drop out of high school. I had already once told them that I was going to drop out and they were very disappointed in hearing that. My parents want all of their kids to go to college and be able to live their lives in a good way. I remembered that day like it was yesterday and it really made me rethink what I was thinking because I don't want to fail their hopes for me.
I decided not to dropout and just push through high school and graduate. Now I'm 22 and just finished graduating college and i' so glad that I didn't dropout and listened to my parents.

I love your post. I have the same fears as you.
ReplyDeleteyour fear is very relatable but i promise you will find the special someone (:
ReplyDeleteI like the angle that you put on your narrative and how it ended in the present tense.
