My heart breaks to know you felt this way in school, tears well up in my eyes as I read classmates ripped up artwork you made for your mother. It sounds like we have a couple things in common, like bus bullies and Irish tempers with a short fuse for bullies. I hate to know you were bullied because like your teacher I always thought of you as popular, intelligent, funny, talented in the arts and extremely kind. Still do.
