I'm really glad my high school wasn't near my home. I barely went as it was...if I could have walked home from my school, I doubt I would have ever made it outta that place.
I remember in high school, I had this bullshit elective called Youth Apprenticeship. I could take basically the entire day off my senior year because of "work", when all I did was go to my dad's law firm and eat food and use my laptop.
