1980

May
  • First Communion, Catholic Church
August
  • Started 3rd grade
September 1980 – May 1981
  • Didn't see the school psychologist anymore or the school. 
  • My teacher made learning fun and made you want to be there. 
  • He took a genuine interest in all his students and would help anyone in need. 
  • This was the first year of homework and he would assign a lot of it. 
  • I usually had three or four books of homework a night. 
  • There were many nights where I just struggled and I would give up after the time had hit midnight. 
  • My Mom would a lot of times do the reading work for me and give me the answers so that I could finish. 
  • I continued to have a reading problem in the third grade and could not kep up with the rest of the class. 
  • We had a Read-A-Thon and were supposed  to read ten books in a nine week period and I only finished three. 
  • This was the first year that a teacher encouraged me to do better and like school.
  • My desk and locker during the third grade were a complete disaster from day one. 
  •  I could never find anything and at that early of an age it made me feel stupid.
