one time i threw my hair up in a messy bun and went downstairs and saw all of one direction in my living room and harry styles stepped forward and was like you have to come with us and i was shocked and my mom was like i’m so sorry sweetie we can’t pay the bills anymore
When I was 17, I graduated from high school. Even though I was homeless, I found an independent studies high school that gave me work I could complete “at home” and I did that work mostly at my public library.
When I think about the hustle so many nontraditional and/or underserved students endure, it reminds me that we need to make education more affordable, make rent more affordable, and widen our safety nets. Getting in isn’t enough. We need to make sure all students are thriving.
