In the end, I did end up repeating seventh grade.
I failed every class up until I dropped out freshman year.
So are all the kids on the East Coast repeating school next year? Get ready to see a lot of hairy eighth graders. Storm brain drain.
I didn't get the degree because in my last year, for my thesis film I made a feature called Permanent Vacation and they'd given me a scholarship, the Louis B Mayer fellowship and they made a mistake.
I went through high school, but I didn't graduate.
I got expelled from high school my freshman year.
I skipped school starting in tenth grade. I started doing badly and failed every class but English, so they kicked me out of school. They gave up on me.
I failed music when I was a teenager.
