I wrote about that on my blog at http://abbiescorner.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/mr-smiths-mistake/. <br />Fortunately, I wasn't required to take math after the ninth grade. I still had tough times in high school, but because I lived in a loving family environment, it never occurred to me to drop out. I don't remember if I had to rent my cap and gown, but I was able to attend my high school graduation. As I walked across the stage to receive my diploma, I was given a standing ovation by my classmates. You're right, Bruce. It pays to hang in there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
