Written by Peter Richmond
Jack and his father have never agreed on anything. Jack’s dad sent him to a prep school called Oakhurst for his junior year. He thought this would give him a chance to go to a good college. Jack can play the piano, so there is a chance he can win the classical contest. Jack decides to go out for the football team. He faces enhancement drugs. He is pressured to get bigger so he starts to lift weights. He never did give in to drugs. I think is a good read on being yourself and not letting a others change you.
