Chapter Eleven

WHEN I’D SAT DOWN with my advisor at the beginning of the second semester of my senior year to go over the list of necessary classes to graduate, I was surprised to find out I was one class shy--an elective class at that--of having enough credits to walk at the end of the term. I wanted to be angry, not sure how it’d happened, but in the end, I was just thankful there’d still been enough time to squeeze one last class in for the fall term before my release at the end of the year.

I’d circled the date of December 20th on the computer-printed calendar that hung next to my bed as a day to look forward to. Now I officially had another one to circle as well—December 15th, the day I’d receive my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management. Both dates couldn’t get there soon enough, but having to wait four more months was nothing compared to the ten years I’d already been waiting.

It was late August, and I’d just filled out the last of the paperwork to proceed with the fall semester and graduation. Since I’d already completed all of the mandatory classes to fulfill the degree requirements, I figured this one last class should be a breeze, one that I’d enjoy and hopefully have little difficulty with. Professor Jordan was teaching World Religions, a first-year core class, and since I’d already had him before, it was a fairly easy decision. I’d enjoyed his teaching style, so I hoped this one turned out to be just as good as the last.

On Monday night the bus pulled up in front of the school, and the inmates filed out. There were several other guys signed up for the same class too, so we walked down the hallway together. Standing outside the door of the classroom, Professor Jordon recognized me and nodded my way. I wasn’t surprised to see that just a few empty seats remained. I headed up toward the front and slid in behind the first row.

I pulled out my binder that was practically falling apart from overuse, and placed it on the table. I flipped through the textbook that’d been waiting for me on the table in the hallway. Professor Jordon finally closed the door, and then walked to the front of the classroom. After introducing himself to the students, he did a brief overview of what was expected and how the grades would be calculated.

I felt this was an easy grade for me, even though I’d struggled some in the very beginning. Hard work and determination had definitely paid off. My mind sort of drifted for a moment, as it had started to do so quite often, and I couldn’t help but think about going home again.

What was it going to be like? How was my family going to act toward me having me back? Better yet, how was I going to react? Would I even be able to live in the same house with them
