Bonus Facts

This story begins to be written around the beginning of my junior year in highschool. In AP U.S. History, there is a big packet due, and in AP English III, there is an essay due. Dr. Steve references both of these.

We also get a tour of the University of St. Thomas at the beginning of the school year, and that is where many of the characters are in at the beginning of the story.
