AND So I HAVE DEEN SHOVINB MYSELF ALONG HARDER THAN ANY TEACHER EVER DARED. I JUST COULDN'T LET MYSELF OOAAL AND SO IT HAS BEEN EvER SINDE. MANY'S THE DAY I wISHED I VAS DASH AT DEAR ULD M. H. S. WHERE I COULD HAVE ALL MY WORK MAPPED OUT. WHERE ALL I HAD TO D0 T0 GET ALONG WAS To ODEY THE RULES AND DO AS I WAS TOLD. Ir THEY WOULD TAKE ME BACK I'D woRK TWICE AS HARD AND NEVER MAKE A SQUEAE.
