The 30th Anniversary Of Graduating From High School

I dropped out of high school in August of 1986.

In 1993, that was a mistake that I decided to fix.

I was only fifteen years old when I dropped out.

When I ask people not to make my mistake, there is no doubt.

I studied from April of 1993 to June of 1995 and it was very cool.

I studied for twenty-six months until I graduated from high school.

Some people mistook my diploma for a GED but it's not.

I didn't take the easy way out like those people thought.

I became a high school graduate thirty years ago today.

Don't drop out of school like I did because it's not okay.
