I remember hearing in first grade, 'Oh, why does she get to skip school?' It wasn't like I suddenly started feeling different. I always knew that I was. I never felt I missed out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really hated school. I had the feeling I was losing a lot of time.
I never went to school more than six months in my life, but I can say this: that among my earliest recollections, I remember how, when a mere child, I used to get irritated when anybody talked to me in a way I could not understand.
I felt like a misfit at school, and I think that's quite common.
I went to school on Senior Skip Day.
I left school with basically nothing, I was a special needs kid. I did feel as though my school had let me down.
I went to an all-girls school, and I always felt like I missed out on a traditional high-school life.
I may not have gone to high school every day, but I spent whole a lot of my adolescence feeling vulnerable and confused and alone... just like everybody else.
Well, I didn't really admit that I anywhere until my daughter started school and I knew I couldn't pull up and leave when I felt like it.
I didn't fit in at school, and I didn't fit in at home, and I didn't know why. I was often lonely.
I skipped ninth grade. I went from eighth to tenth, and then I graduated a year early to start working, and it was a big blessing for me because I was not a school person, although I really do miss having that kind of environment.
