Three years ago I made the biggest mistake of my life. I dropped out of school. It was so hard and boring, I wanted to get out and start a whole new and better future for myself, I didn’t understand that's what school was doing. I still see my friends at the mall where I work, they are laughing a joking going into store after store trying on clothes. I remember when that was me... I would be laughing and talking with my friends, going from store to store with them trying on loads of clothes and just leaving them there, but now I’m the one cleaning up after them.
School seemed like the hardest thing back then. I just needed to get out. I realize now that school was just the beginning of a whole new world. I would be in grade 12 now and about to graduate, I didn’t realize it would be done in such a short period of time. I want to go back, but I really don’t want to show my face there again.
