when i had my first daughter i was 16 and was kicked out of my church (was in private school through the church.. making the tuition cheaper. but when not a member the tuition goes back to what it normally would be) anyway, so i could no longer go to the private school since my mom couldn't afford it. since that was no longer an option we looked at the local public schools and my mom went to sign me up for one and hearing my last name, the principal said, "we don't like trouble makers and we dont want them here".. apparently my uncles caused quite the stir(and i already knew this) my mom had to tell him id not cause trouble.. had to convince him that i wasn't trouble. and i wasnt. i was a great student. I lettered in Acedemics. had a 3.98 GPA. i had a few *minor* collisions with friends.
I love making people eat their words. my principal may never know the damage he caused by saying that to my mom in front of me. made me feel little in his eyes, like i was not good enough to attend his school when he had no idea who i am, just by looking at my name.
so i do wish and hope that some teachers/principals would get their heads out of their butts and realize what they say. lol.
