Bullied to Blessed

When I was four years old, I was excited for school, ready to meet new people, make new friends, the whole social thing. Sadly, things took a very unexpected turn: I was constantly bullied by the kids there because I was different. I wasn’t very smart and was even suggested to go to special ed because the teachers said there was something wrong with me. Talk about a confidence killer. There I was, sitting in special ed all that time in elementary school on the shores of Hawaii. As a military brat, you can never adjust to one spot as you are constantly on the move, so Hawaii lasted for only seven years of my life.
