Why am I always in the wrong ?why do I have to listen you when you have zero to say. Because I am young ? All my life I have been young ,so I never get a turn? This school is lost .if you ask me, you are lost. But everybody talks to me like I am the one, I should change. Why should I change ? I have never ever gotten to find out who I am and you want me to change ? That is crazy! You tell me I am bad before I even get to be anything . What the hell is that ? Original sin or something? I read plato . I read him on park beach in the bronx and let me tell you something.Plato wasn't afraid. Diogenes wasn't afraid. Socrates wasn't afraid of anything. They were men. Why are you the headmaster and I am the student? Do you understand ? I have to earn you respect but you don't have to earnmine? What is that? It is you that want the A before you even start. But when I say I want the something. I am nuts, right? I am not going to cry. I'm going to find my place in this world . Count on it . The school has been a miracle for me,but not because of you. Because somebody, Mr.hoffman.,finally saw me. And more than that ,somebody, a grown perso,decided I was good before I was good.
