1978

August
Started 1st grade

September 1978 – May 1979
  • Continued seeing the school psychologist because of the way I was acting at school. 
  • I don’t remember a whole lot about it since I was on five or six years old but I can remember having to talk to this man periodically and it was done in the main office area. 
  • Sometime during first grade the psychologist again tried to tell my Mother that I had ADD and wanted me to be on Ritalin.  
  • She again consulted my pediatrician and they concluded I was just a happy little boy. 
  • I haven’t talked about this with my Mom for many years because it makes her mad all over again that someone would say that her child has something wrong.

In my opinion, I was always anxious.  I liked to have a good time and with that came a listening problem.  I would just act out and do whatever I wanted.  This usually got me in trouble.  I always seemed to be on th go. I had a hard time concentrating as well.  During the first grade my lack of concentration had an effect on my reading and I had to be tutored to keep up.
