When I was 16, I found out I was being told to drop a year or leave the school. I did not know what to do.
I was supposed to be in class so I wasn't expected home. I went to the nearby Cafe Coffee Day but realised I had no money. I sat on the sofa they had outside. Nobody understood. I cried.
I cried for a long time, till I ran out of breath and I still had no idea what I was going to do. A woman walked up to me with a glass of water, sat beside me and asked me to drink. She asked about me, I didn't say anything, I just thanked her for the water and told her I would be fine. She gave me half a smile, didn't ask any further, and walked away slowly.
Thank you so much.
