Saving myself

As far as setting my own path in life, I would say dropping out of college would be a big one.  I kept telling myself “keep it up, things will get better” but my third year at Washburn came along, and not only did I have had grades, but a sad attitude to match.  I told all my friends “I want to drop out, but I am scared of what my mom will say.” I eventually told my dad, but since he and mom rarely communicate about stuff like this, I had another semester of summer classes to get through before she muttered at the dinner table one evening, “why don’t you just drop out?” I had nothing left to lose, and I already had my AA, and I am much happier than ever.  😀
