Educated

"The scars from that life never fully heal"

"Purdue was my escape hatch"

"I became someone they didn't recognize"

"The truth set me free, but first it hurt"

"I had to burn bridges to move forward"

"I was reborn through education"

"Knowledge made me dangerous to them"

"Tyler understood my need to escape"

"I didn't know who I was anymore"

"The past is not the past"

"I had to choose between my family and myself"

"Education was a way out"

"Buck's Peak defined me"

"I believed what he told me about myself"

"Shawn could turn on you in an instant"

"I had never been to school"

"I had created a version of myself"

"It's strange how you give the people you love so much power over you"

"Your life is not your own"

"I had spent my whole life not trusting my own mind"
