ABC Open 500 words: Quiet Please (An Act of Rebellion)

Quiet please: rebellion in progress

May 2013

How tattoos, beer and loud music got me into University.

This piece was one of three on the ‘featured’ list for May 2013 (out of 98 contributions). It is a light-hearted piece describing my last year of high school and how I rebelled from my parents.
