When Pavarotti Cried
My most embarrassing moment has to do with the one time that music did not help me. When I was in 6th grade, schools were being integrated. I was bused from my community school into another neighborhood to attend a predominantly white school. It was the beginning of years of being bullied. Every day I had to get through the “back of the bus girls. “The back of the bus girls were girls" were older than me with long nails whose sole purpose was to terrorize the younger kids. There were two girls, called the “Bully Bruno Twins”. Their names were Bertha and Bonita Bruno. They were big girls who should have been in sixth grade but were in third grade because they got left back three times. The embarrassment of sitting in a classroom with third graders made them mean and for some reason they loved to bully me.
