Just realized ~ No new Chocolate rec's posted~ Quick, Meryl, Post a chocolate~ Looking for anything

Mine was horrible~ 2nd day of class she stated "Class when you die!! you die alone and your parents

will go before you" scared me to death plus it was the first time I heard about death and I didn't want to go without my parents, couldn't imagine at 6yrs old not being near my parents... Oh, and I went to a catholic school.

The thing about the E's are this: We were suppose to cut out letters and paste them in a notebook but.. I lost my E's and didn't paste them in. Literally everyday she would have me stand up and she would ask me about my E's and then tell the class: Dianne doesn't have her E's, she is not prepared for class and what do we say about her? She is going to suffer and maybe NOT go to heaven. And... when my mother went to PTA (my first one) she came home and asked me about my E's and I got spanked for not having them and was told to have them.

The simple problem was I lost my E's... too when I told Mrs. Kearney I lost my E's she said it was not her problem and shows my irresponsibility.

I was 6yrs old, those words were destructive and made me feel outcast and too... I wonder if that endeared her to God to treat a 6yr old that way.

So now you have the rest of the story as to why I don't particularly like E's.

Funny how you carry that and too never forget.

 
I have had some great teachers over the years ~ the one teacher that stands out in my mind the most

is Barbara Szabo. In 9th grade I was at the height of confusion, an alcoholic family, dysfunctional and she pulled it all together for me. She took an interest and the time, her time, to mentor me and most of all to believe in myself. The best school year I ever had, because of her, I VALUE!!!!!!!!!! education, because of her I learned I can glean a positive from the most negative, because of her I learned to believe in me. She did this by reaching out. To this day I would absolutely love to find her (and I've tried) to thank her and tell her " if it wasn't for you, I am scared to think would could have happened" Her words to me still speak in my head, why I think I've championed through some difficult situations. Barbara Szabo was a teacher in Woodbridge Township, NJ. I sincerely love that woman.
