The Crucible Narrative Report
While it might not be hard for some parents to discuss drugs and the events that took place during Sunday, September 25th, let me further explain why it’s unfortunate that I don’t share that privilege.
I grew up in a very conservative, restricted family household. I still remember the many times I thought to myself why my siblings and I couldn’t go to another place other than church.

This was an isolated event, and because I failed doesn’t mean I’m a failure. Yet having my parent’s strict idealism predict my return to the university is a scary thought, as this gives them every proof they would ever need to justify that college is precisely what they predicted.
