Back when I was in High School I had a terrible time fitting in. I also had issues with failure. If I thought that I wasn't going to succeed at some project, essay or exam, I would just run! There was really no one particular moment or individual that put me in this place, but there is one moment that I do remember.
English class. Oh, English class how I abhor you or more like - oh English teacher Ms. Irwin how I abhor you. There's nothing like sitting in an educational setting being reminded how ineffective, insignificant and dumb you are. It's wonderful to sit there class after class listening to a teacher talk about her wonderful and exciting world travels to a class of middle and low-income students.
Once Ms. Irwin noted that I was a Jack of all trades and master of none. This was surprising to hear - after all, I was only in grade nine or ten. What exactly was I supposed to be a Master of at that age? Acne medications?
