A year and a half ago, I dropped out of school. The teachers didn't have enough books to give us, there were too many kids in classes, and some teachers gave me a hard time. Sometimes we'd come out fighting, so to avoid that situation, I left school.
I DID get something out of it -- knowledge. In my story, I investigate my own reasons for dropping out, talk to other students who've dropped out, interview the principal at the school I was at, and record myself and my tutor at Make The Road By Walking. I also talk about my plans for the future.
Macho was mentored by Kerry Donahue.
