I went to my first dentist appointment alone!

I had my id and insurance card on me and spoke to the receptionist, I ended up super scared because they made me sign papers i have never had to sign when there with my family. The actual appointment was really strange and weird???? But I'm proud I was able to manage it by myself.

Freedom? Education? Never in this house.

My mom had to cry and beg his fiancée to get him to finally pull out some cash for the school. (For anyone wondering my mom is disabled so she doesn't have access to her own money.)

I'm feeling happier

over the past few weeks I've been getting my grades up, going to school more, talking to more people who are like me and trying to go with the flow. Live life since I only have a few more days of school. Honestly I'm still not content with where I'm at, I will always want to make more progress; but right now, I'm okay, I just need to make it to graduation and then I'll figure out the next step from there. I'm worried about graduation, I still have some hurdles before I get there, but it's the next big milestone so it's where I'm placing my goal.

i got my cap and gown today and I just got home and tried it on with my mom. I never thought I would get here, I always thought I would drop out or worse. I never saw myself graduating highschool. But God here I am, I'm so emotional right now it's crazy. I'm gonna be the first of all my siblings to graduate, not even my mom graduated, only my dad, so even if it's a small win I'm a step closer to being like him.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your congrats! All your nice words have made me feel even more proud of myself that despite all the hardship it took that i got through it despite it all.
