And I just was just really creative in my own room, doing all sorts of things, acting out soap operas, writing stories, creative writing.

I was really into creative writing, but my parents did let me have some creative outlets.

Like I went to a performing arts summer camp that I really loved.

But I was in special ed and was taking remedial classes for my auditory processing disability as well as my high anxiety.

And I'd say I was just unquestioningly kept in that system until ninth grade when a special ed teacher took me aside.

And she was actually a sub or she was the covering for the regular teacher that day.

I'd never seen her before.

And she took me aside after class and said, you know, I know this is like the first time that I've been here, but like, you know, it just is very clear to me that you're yearning for something more, you know, like, why are you still here in this classroom?

And I was just so taken back because no one ever asked me that question before and never dawned on me to ask myself that question.

And maybe because of my personality, um,

But as soon as I asked myself the question, why am I here?

It really quickly turned into like, yeah, why am I here?

Like, I'm getting out.

You know, I always have this, like, I always, I always had this really rebellious side of me that I've just always had it.

Like, it's just an undeniable part of my DNA or something, you know?

And I remember in that moment, like someone empowering me to be rebellious.

Like, that's all I need.

Like, that's all it takes for me.

It's all like, just does a little bit of a nudge to be rebellious.

I'm in, you know, like.
