You might be an outlier! But it sounds like you did not graduate high school or apply to college. If that’s correct, I would not have the context to know since the baseline of inclusion into my experience is people who graduate high school in some form - GED included, AND who provide test scores. I’m really sorry to hear about your stepdad, wincy. I hope things are ok for you now.
