No one has asked for his (scholarship) release. I'm not naive enough to think they'll all return, but we've got a better feel for what we're working with, and they got a better feel for me.

I am hoping to negotiate a no-questions-asked release.

No one really ever asked why he didn't apply for it. This is an assumption. It's not an easy thing to get. It takes a year, maybe two years through the application process. ... Now, looking back at it, he knew about his situation in the other state.

It wasn't that no one asked me to the prom, it was that no one would tell me where it was

and this one might not be such a little one for everybody.

I'm not naive enough to think that there are a lot of things going on in peoples' lives. Those 48 students (that dropped out of school last year) are 48 kids we know. If there was one name on the list that would be too many. It's quite a problem.
