Anonymous wrote:My best friend, a science/math person who was into musical theater, wrote about how the handsome, older senior who had the musical lead one year asked her to senior prom…and came out to her there, the first person he ever told. It was the 90s so being openly gay was much harder and it was a major display of trust. (And over the next months he told everybody so she wasnt betraying him in writing the piece two years later.) it was a hilarious, bittersweet, somewhat self-deprecating essay about a dorky girl’s dashed hopes…but it had a deeper message that she was a trustworthy, warm person and a great friend. Got into great schools.
This is the first one mentioned that I actually want to read!
