However, my father made a special trip out to Wyoming to figure out why I wasn’t graduating—which I didn’t think they would do—and found out that I was, in fact, graduating and at the top of my class. So, they were there, and as usual, the center of attention. With the other parents bombarding my father, trying to talk about funding their business idea, the attention wasn’t on me. It was one day, and my family couldn’t bother giving me half of their attention. That was another reason why I needed to get the fuck away from them.
