When asked to write an essay about what he misses from his childhood, a 17-year-old foster child’s response was nothing short of shocking. His brutally honest answer? ‘Nothing.’ This teenager, who’s had a tough start in life, sees his past as a series of obstacles he’s overcome, and his future as a beacon of hope and opportunity. His teacher, however, wasn’t quite ready for this raw honesty and failed him for not ‘answering the prompt’. As he faces the choice between honesty and a passing grade, let’s delve into his compelling journey.

This 17-year-old foster child’s candid confession about not missing anything from his childhood has stirred up quite a storm. His past, marred by hardship, has only made him more determined to seize the opportunities that come his way. His future, he believes, holds more promise than his past ever did. But his teacher’s refusal to acknowledge his unique perspective has put him in a quandary. Should he stick to his truth and risk failing, or should he lie to pass?
