Choose the best narrative for the domain, Educational Functioning

Isabella attended cosmetology school to be a hair dresser but she dropped out and never completed the program.

Isabella graduated from high school and attended cosmetology school to become a hair stylist. She hopes to own her own beauty salon one day. She left cosmetology school prior to completion after getting married. She did well in the structured setting at the time. However, she worries that her "lack of focus", difficulty concentrating and "staying on task" and distractibility when she is "upbeat" as well as "being late, missing classes and blowing off assignments" when she is "down" would impact her ability to complete school at this time. In addition, Isabella's anxiety and panic attacks limit her transportation options so getting to school would be difficult.

You are incorrect.
A is not the best narrative. It includes limited status but does not include any functional descriptions or a link to the mental illness.

B is the best narrative. It addresses all aspects of the domain including status and functional descriptions that include functional strengths and impairments. It also includes links to the mental illness.
