Hey, Jen...

This is kind of late in the game, but I just wanted to tell you not to be down on yourself...I know a lady who quit school and moved away from her folks at age 16...it has taken her a long, long time, but she is now working on her Master's degree and takes care of dying people and their families at a major hospital. You've got a lot of friends, because you ARE a good friend, and a lot of time to be who you want to be.

Hang in there!
