By Mariangela D., Edison, NJ   (More by this author »)

Jen slouches as she’s sitting in the main office
Waiting as her mom signs papers to quit school
Handing over her textbooks to the principal
Looks at her mother as tears go down her face
Wishing that her daughter would have got all A’s
Trusted her that she would never be late to school
Hoping that one day she had a good career …
Now her name deleted in the school computer
All her classes have one chair empty
The hallways missing a student going to every class
Walking to her locker
She opens it and it’s empty
No books, papers or pictures
Jen’s quitting school
