I'm so sorry to hear this and I'm really sad to hear how your "role models" failed you like that. It sounds like your school said that your diploma was proof that you're ready to succeed in the world while merely trusting standardized tests to determine how successful you'd be.

I hope you've since felt more proud in your daily life.
