I Refused to Let Them Fail

Fate handed me a teacher’s badge and a broken script. I was supposed to watch these kids crash and burn—arrests, heartbreak, and shattered dreams—but I refused to play along. Armed with sarcasm, coffee, and a plan, I bulldozed every trope, saved a bullied girl, dragged a rebel boy out of apathy, and turned a classroom of slackers into legends. But rewriting endings isn’t easy when old wounds bleed, rivalries burn, and the system itself fights back. Can one determined outsider rewrite not just a school’s future, but her own regrets? Or will the past pull them all under again? In this feel-good, fight-back American drama, the only test that matters isn’t the SAT—it’s who you become when you finally get to choose your story.
