Dear Teachers,

I know you're not supposed to hold a grudge on people who do you wrong, but with this situation, I believe an exception can be made, Teachers are meant to guide students in the right direction for a better and brighter future, not to bully or harass them. I remember coming home in tears every day, because of the cruel harassment I endured, I hated school because of the constant bullying.

No teacher or teachers, for that matter, should NEVER tell a student they will never amount to anything in life, especially a middle schooler. As a middle schooler who suffered from low self-esteem, I believed every negative thing that was ever said to me, which started the beginning stages of my depression. Being told I'd never graduate from high school also affected me in so many ways, even though these events took place several years ago, I still beat myself up daily for believing such bullshit.

I hope you both know since these events took place, I've accomplished EVERYTHING y'all said I'd NEVER do, and I could not do, and I could not be more proud of myself, Tell me I can't, and I'll show you I CAN!
