The one thing that keeps me going are the times I meet my former students in the grocery store or at Disneyland or wherever - years later - and they say "I was a sh*t to you," or "I didn't mean to be such an idiot..." etc... and I usually say "you were an idiot?" Because I don't remember what made them an idiot. I rarely remember a crisis 24 hours after its happened. I know one thing, and that is, to let it go. Because years later, I'll see them in a grocery store, or at Disneyland or wherever and I will say "you were just a kid. that's what kids do. That's how we learn. You didn't think the learning all comes out of a book did you? You're welcome." And we laugh, and hug and we go on our merry way. I don't hang onto anything. It sounds to me like you learned SOOO much in high school that wasn't from any book. Those are valuable apples.

Loving parental figures who were amazing examples, friends who were strong and good and headed in the right direction, teachers who cared and really tried to help me be the best person I could be. I just spit in everyone's faces. I saught out the negative and focused on poor me and my own "terrible" problems. <br />I've thought about it alot, and though I am different now, the best thing anyone could have done for me would have been to take away all of the amazing privileges I felt entitled to. <br />I wanted to test everyone to make them prove to me that I was somehow worth their care and guidance. When they would give me the chance I would try to show them why I wasn't worth it.<br />Instead of squandering all my gifts, perhaps I should have had them taken from me. I should have been made to fight for them.<br />Don't get me wrong... it still comes down to my poor decisions. I tried patiences until they vanished, but if I had only realized that the opportunities I had were just that: opportunities and not entitlements I might have fought harder to keep them instead of throwing them away.<br />Just two cents from one of those problem children.
