Time is running out, and it passes a lot faster as you age. Think twenty years is a long time? It isn’t.
Teachers will love some students and won’t hesitate to criticize/insult others, and you might fall into the latter category (it happened to me). I wouldn't count on an explanation.
Lying, gossiping, cheating, and stealing happen all the time in the world of work. People will spread lies about you, even though you’ve done nothing wrong (it happened to me).
You have to honor yourself and your wishes. Nobody else will.
