Pride
For all those who don't know, I am a high school drop out. Yes. I know. Its hard to believe but I have a GED. Life has repeatedly beaten my butt to a point where I ran. Hell, sometimes I wonder if I havent done anything but run. My parents, were able to send me off for some much needed help when I needed it but I harbored so much darkness in my heart. Even these days I wonder, are my parents proud. Of course to my face they will tell me they are proud. I mean my parents aren't rude and indignant. But I sit here wondering am I a sore subject. I mean my sister is the best child of the family, she sits there and gives everything her all she is more likely to succeed than I am. What am I. Another drop out. A guy who can barely keep a job and a guy who didnt have anyone celebrate the fact he made it. I guess I should face it I am no one.

Your parents are very proud. We celebrate every accomplishment no matter how big, how small or how trivial it may be perceived. You have been on a challenging road and you put one foot in front of the other each day Your path is different than what is considered "normal". That's ok.

You are not a drop out. You have a GED. High school is over. You finished before any of your classmates.
You are solidifying your foundation and you will succeed. Just don't stand in your own way!
