My Goal

My sister is a senior and will soon be getting her diploma and going to college. I’m the big brother: it should have been me first. Today I asked Judy how Alex got his diploma. I learned that he studied for 18 months before he took the high school equivalency exam. It was Judy’s determination that got him there. 

My Mom is also determined, so I know I will get it eventually. It hurts though that Kira is getting it first. It hurts that I am watching her visiting colleges and picking which one to go to. I am so angry and jealous. 

We are incredibly intelligent. We deserve to be educated too. It is just so unfair that we are treated like idiots everywhere but Mouth to Hand. 

I believe that I will get my diploma. I will follow in Alex’s footsteps. And that will show everyone who thought I was stupid just how wrong they were.
