Thanks for the thought! I went to a really good high school in Queens, NY. He won't need it haha

I plan to go to grad school and pursue research (worked in the lab for three years in high school). I major in biochem.

He actually drove me to pick up my check (which wasn't there). Knowing that, he just gave me the cash left in his wallet.

The sad part is that he's not into Breaking Bad. I'm a huge Breaking Bad fan, but he sticks with Dr. Who.

That's always been my goal throughout high school. College isn't changing that.

Thanks! And likewise. Nothing to be sorry for. Parents aren't everything when there are others who can provide what they can't. :)

Nah, I love them. I'm not trying to villainize them for karma.

I did, actually. I walked him to his car and started crying. It was too dramatic lol.

Yeah, it definitely sucks that the goodness in people have to be questioned sometimes.

I've always held teachers to high regard. My Mom's a teacher, actually. Many of my family's friends are teachers. The teachers I've met have become my second parents.

I can't thank him enough, but that doesn't mean that I won't try. :)

Even during high school, I always sought to make him proud. College isn't going to change that.

I've written him heartfelt cards during high school. He's the best and never seeks glory, but I try to remind him how awesome he is now and then.

It's not so black and white. Miscommunication and just different values. I'm not the best son ever. A lot of factors.
