Through all the crowds
and the sea of heads of students making their way to class, you might see a
tall guy with a bright red sweatshirt, and you’ll know Austin is at school that
day. And the days he doesn’t wear his iconic red sweatshirt, you’ll still
recognize him when his loud voice booms through the hallways, along with him
playfully bickering with a couple people and him telling them in a not so nice
way to leave him alone. Some conversations you might hear him having with his
friends would probably be about cars, or his truck specifically, or else
complaining about the work he has to do in class. Despite the complaining and
confusion, he still almost always asks people in the classroom for help and
will turn the papers in.
Just
like anyone else at Crossroads or even just in general, everyone has a personal
life to deal with. Part of that is the reason why Austin Case is at our school
and fits in so well. A common problem with students at our school is not
working well with a regular high school. Like, the other students, the
teachers, the way they’re taught, are many valid reasons and struggles we might
have, and that is different here at Crossroads. That was a big problem for
Austin and a big reason why he attends our school. Other various reasons would
be not having the motivation to bring yourself out of bed to start you day at
school, or your emotions messing with you and making you fear socializing with
people.
At
Crossroads there are many students who don’t show up, don’t do their work, and
just goof off. Then there is also students who show up often, are caught up on their
school work, and stay interested and focused. Austin Case is a student who’s in
the middle of that. Although he does struggle with his work, he usually does
have good grades, although goofing off might be one of his favorite activities.
