Your inability to even consider taking the ACT’s or the SAT’s really hits me. Although I was a terrible student in high school I still scored well enough on the ACT to go to EMC. I don’t think my parents expected to much but my overdrive kicked in. I can only imagine your potential.
When I was in 8th grade and again in the 10th grade, my mom made allegations "on my behalf" about how I was being sexually harassed by my English teacher (the football coach) and my Biology teacher (the basketball coach). This painted me as a liar, a liability, and a profoundly unsafe student for any teacher to get near. As a result, I was left to flounder my way through school as my mom told me I was nothing, and my teachers' silence seemed to agree. I craved direction and a purpose, but I had no idea how to make it happen. And those Pentecostal chains were tight. Isolation and poverty make for poor champions. I don't blame the teachers. Those kinds of rumors can destroy your whole life. It took me years to see how profoundly my mom had cut me off from anyone who might have helped me do... well, anything beyond the box she wanted me to stay inside. The ACT/SAT's would have been a way out, and those weren't allowed.
Maybe,but her chains ⛓️ are clearly so tight she cannot or could not see what to do for her children when they needed her. Keep pulling the chains off yourself and by doing so you will amaze us all who cheer for you.

I'm afraid I've continued to disappoint her.
