As I was a child, I did not like attending church because I thought it was boring. I did not mind Sunday school as much, but sometimes I fidgeted when the teacher read us a story from the bible. I liked to do crafts and sing songs like I did in elementary school.

When I turned 11, I was bullied in school because I was shy, and sometimes I did not want my teacher to go home for lunch. I had a good teacher that year. Sometimes she would take me, and the rest of my classmates to her place for lunch, and we went down to the lake.

I was called "retarded" by a boy in my class. I ignored it, and I thought right did he have to call me that. I was in a special education class, and so was this boy. I had delays in learning with understanding things. I also stuttered, and I teased of that. I felt that my esteem was low. I developed depression until I entered high school.

During high school, I was bullied in a windowless classroom. I could not avoid those unless I chose not to come to class. The teacher did not do anything about it. He asked me if bother those boys, and I said that I didn't bother at all. I even got punched in the head. As of today, that left me scar emotionally. Despite the problems I had in school, and with my classmates, I graduated from high school.

I year later, I was in a vocational program where I worked in hospital as a housekeeper, and I worked in Restuarant as a dishwasher, and a baker. I took courses at a community college at night. I took typing, Data Processing, Writing, Art, and Childcare.

As of today, I have to move on with my life by going to church, going to work. I work as a Cleaner, but I will never give up my art my writing. I have to please God, and be thankful that I have a new life with him by praising him.
