In two days I will be walking in my high school graduation ceremony. I am fairly excited about it too. But my dad and a family friend keep trying to make me invite Tasha to the ceremony. Which I really don't want to do. They are too old fashioned to accept the fact that someone they know and love is a twat. I don't want her in my life; she is a bad person. She has been too malicious to me, and has selfishly hurt one of the best people I ever knew. She lies about me to my parents, has stolen from me, and has destroyed some of my property. There is no real value in a relationship with her and I don't want one.
Thankfuly my mom is a human with a soul and a mind and she understands my opinion. She has told me that I should never allow someone to make me do something that I don't want to do. She said this because she knows she can trust me to do right by people. She knows that I am not the type to just throw a fit and hate someone trivially. I don't like who Tasha is, and I don't want her around.
This is my damn night. Mine. Not Tasha's, not Mom's, and not Dad's. I earned my diploma with no help from any of them. Every grade I got was mine and mine alone. I can't let them take this out of my hands.
Well put. As my father always says: Fuck those guys.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations are now in order. It's nice to know that other people see your potential.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I thought about it some more, and I don't think I did nominate you for the Chance to Become. Honestly, I got asked to nominate students for so many things in the last couple of months, and every time I was I either wrote down your name, or Xian's, or both, that I've forgotten if any of them was this one. If it wasn't me (and it probably wasn't -- I think mine was the SCORE thing), I'd look to Schmor or one of your Spanish teachers.
You deserve it anyway. Congrats, grad.
Thank you so much for everything. :D
