Drift Reality > Cleveland, Ohio

When I was fifteen, my mother decided she had just about enough of me, and sent me to go live with my father in Cleveland. Having been allocated to the dregs of my high school's social hierarchy through a combination of fate and my own incompetence, I was eager for a change of scenery.

What ensued was a three-year period that left an indelible mark on my life: I began to find strength through academia; started playing football; made a few tremendous friends; and continued to struggle socially. Eight years later, it is still difficult to express the angst I felt dealing with the social environment at Hawken.

That's why I decided to write it all down and share it with the world.
