Bright...you'll learn all about shorthand when college comes around....u's, r's, thru's (through) all come in handy when taking notes. As for the BE thing, i don't know the details, and they don't really matter anyways. Things like that happen (BE is not the first and won't be the last) and whomever was "involved" is probably kicking themself right now. I was involved in a similar instance during the fall of my senior year and luckily was able to earn my coach and parents trust again. Two of my best friends messed up again and therefore did not get to enjoy our senior year championship. YOU ARE KNOWN BY THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!..the hand of one is the hand of all...and people at your school really do look up to you and expect more whether you know it or not. You've got your jersey on alllllllll the time....everywhere you go.
