Freshman year I came here.
They didn't really know my situation.
Sophomore year wasn’t good.
Second sophomore year wasn’t good.
I got suspended for the intent of selling
and possession of a controlled substance.
They were gonna like report me to the police
but they didn't 'cause it was my own prescription.
I don't like taking my medicine.
It makes me not want to eat, not want to sleep.
When you have ADHD you suppress a lot of things,
like thoughts and anger and energy and then one day like...
Shut up!
We can have lots of dreams and hopes for you...
I want to be a police officer.
I want a family.
I want to be successful in life.
But you are the one that plays a critical role...
what your vision, what your passion is
will determine whether or not you achieve those dreams.
When we lived in Georgia,
my mom was always drunk or high or whatever.
I hate myself for my kids' suffering.
And I know it's affected Kelsey
and it's probably hurt her way of thinking.
When she was younger,
I was constantly working.
So there was a good chunk of my
kids' lives where I wasn't around
to follow through with what they were doing.
If you dwell like on the bad things,
you tend to think about it a lot and you
get depressed so I just block it out completely.
All the work I f****** did?
For...?
I'm failing math now.
I really don't care about graduating anymore.
By not asking for help, Kelsey...
How many classes is she passing?
Two out of four.
...you're setting up your own roadblock.
? Climb up the twisted root... ?
Alright, so Kelsey, what's the agenda for today?
Graduating, why not?
Graduating.
If I don't graduate, I'm pretty sure
I'm not coming to this school.
You're a very determined person and you feel like
I've always taken care of me...
I don't need anybody in my life to help me.
There's gonna be a time in your life, and this is right now...
you might need more than just yourself to get through this.
I don’t know how to do that.
What are you having trouble on?
32 plus 36 plus 35...
Awesome...great job.
