My story begins when I was in elementary. My parents and aunt and uncle was in a terrible auto accident on labor day in 1986. My uncle Johnny was killed on impact. My dads legs were both broken and his arm was also broken. My moms face was split in half my aunt suffered a black eye. My 3 week old nephew wasn't injured. That accident changed our lives. Kids would often tease me. They would often push me around. What was even worse was I was in special ed. I have a learning disability so I was slower than the other kids. I had only four friends. I was constantly being picked on. I was never welcomed in sports, scouts, or any other social activities. I was always not welcome. In middle school I was in constant fights because of being picked on. In high school I was assaulted when a bully took a rope and put it around my neck. When I defended myself I was suspended and he continued to attend school even though he was known for this. I have more about my story so if you would like to hear more email me and I can share more of my story.
