Life isn't all fun and games

Life isn't all fun and games. Sometimes it is but it's not always you laughing it up. Think of a time when you were picked on. How did you get treated? What did people think of you? Well, that's what I'm going to tell you. Once when I was in the 3rd grade, people kept picking on me and called me " Special-Ed". I took that seriously because I really didn't understand that much. Since then, people have been respecting me more because I took a stand and spoke my mind. After that, I thought things would be real easy. Actually, I have had random memory loss to this day. Since that semester, things have been better but, I feel like something was wrong. I figured out that If I concentrate on one thing all the time, I instantly forget all about it. That was actually the memory loss thing but it still is inside me. One part of me will always keep those past memories. That was like being called a Freak. In the long run, things worked out and now I have shared with you one of my deepest secrets. (No they are not dark just deep.) Once again, I overcame it bye standing up for myself.

Wow Elijah. You write so beautifully. Thanks for your honesty. I think of you as one of the brightest students I have ever had...honestly!

What helped you overcome being picked on in 3rd grade?
