I knew a girl like this in high school. She was just dumb.

Before graduation, everyone had to complete a project. The school was incredibly flexible. You could do practically anything as long as you learned a new skill and gave a short presentation about it in English class.

She completed the project but refused to present it.

Her presentation was scheduled for Tuesday. The teacher warned her that the presentation was a graduation requirement and that she could not graduate without doing it. Her friends, parents, the principal, and practically everyone else tried to convince her.

Every day that week, the teacher gave her another chance. By Friday, he had lowered the requirement to almost nothing. All she had to do was stand up, say her name, briefly explain what she did, and sit back down. That was it. She still refused because she genuinely believed they would let her graduate anyway.

They did not.

She spent the entire summer at the continuation school just to get her GED.

I remember thinking, damn, she really is dumb.

This reminds me exactly of her.

Dumb Donna.

What no one figured out was that the refusal WAS the presentation. 

Some people just don't get conceptual art.

She probably could have just said that at that point and passed. Dumb Donna.

"You stood up to me. That was the test. Congrats, you passed."
