Graduated Quote by Daniel Smith
“Before I started High School, people told me how they'd be more freedom and how I'd like It. When I got to High School, the people were stupid and immature. Also the staff never letted me do anything because the staff had their faces up their butts. Man, am I glad I graduated. :)”
