My parents finally took me to Dr. Hodges to find out what my condition was. "Well it looks like you are bipolar." Dr. Hodges said to my parents and I. "What!?!" I replied. "You will experience mood swings and get angry easily, you need to be careful how you react now." he replied. We left and I called Clarice and Fotunato over. "I have something to tell you guys, I've been diagnosed as bipolar." I
