Transparency ep1: What happens when life throws a curveball, forcing you to grow up faster than you ever imagined? Picture a 16-year-old who suddenly finds himself outside the school gates, grappling with a sense of isolation and depression as his siblings enjoy the typical high school experiences he can only dream about. This episode of "Well, This Isn't What I Was Expecting" is deeply personal, as I, Tyrone Wigfall, recount the emotional rollercoaster of dropping out of high school and the transformative journey that followed.

You'll hear how a pivotal meeting with a mentor who had walked the same path changed everything. This mentor, who rose from dropping out to earning a master's degree, inspired me to take a shot at a GED—a path I once dismissed. With multiple failed attempts behind me, a dedicated tutor helped me clear that final hurdle, lifting a huge weight off my shoulders. Yet, the victory wasn't without its bittersweet moments, as I reflect on the missed milestones of my teenage years while navigating the rocky transition from adolescence to adulthood. Tune in to hear about the struggles, the triumphs, and what came next after earning my GED.
