| I like to think about why I am the way the am as of this moment and I think about my childhood.
I was never the smartest one in my class and I never thought I'd end up attending such a great high school. It was graduation and I was getting my mini-autograph book signed by my classmates and staff members around the school. I had never really realized that I did indeed have some special traits about me (I never thought I was anyone special...especially like during 1st grade where there was this bully that always teased me about how I was ugly! AND I remember his name too.. Eddy.. ugh..That just brings back some bad mojo...dude).
During one of the last days of class, my 5th grade teacher told me that she'll miss my smile and asked me to flash a smile for her to remember me by. (My homeroom teacher in high school nick-named me Smiley ever since my freshmen year.)
One of my old teachers wrote: "A bright future is waiting for you, try your best and catch it!" I haven't thought much about what he wrote then because I just thought he thought I was stupid or something.
In 7th grade when the high school apps were coming up, my science teacher asked me what schools I was applying to. He recommended that I should totally apply for Lowell because he thought I have a really good chance. So I applied and got in. My social studies/Chinese teacher always rooted for me...I guess it's because he sees how determined I am?
If it weren't for these teachers, I wouldn't have as much confidence in myself and that attribute still needs work. I would not have had some pretty years of my life and met some great people.
So, thank you for believing in me when I didn't.
