I REMEMBER MISS WILLIAMS SHE CHASED ME DOWN THE STAIRS AND FELL AND BROKE HER LEG TRYING TO GRAB ME I MOVED AND SHE KEPT GOING
AFTER THAT SHE COULD NOT WEAR SPIKE HEALS AND TIGHT SKIRTS
MR HUNT MY SCIENCE TEACHER SAW HER FALL AND HE WENT IN AND CLOSED HIS CLASSROOM DOOR AND PAYED NO ATTENTION TO HER .
SHE WAS NOT A VERY GOOD TEACHER SPENT EVERYDAY LISTENING TO THE HOUSE OF SEVEN GABLES AND EDGAR ALLEN POE ON RECORDS SO BORING.
THE TEACHERS I SPEAK OF HAD NO WAY OF STIMULATING THOUGHT .
I WAS ALWAYS BEING TOLD I WAS SHOWING MY DEVELOPMENT I WAS 5'7 123 LBS AND 42/19/38 SO IT WAS VERY HARD NOT TO .
I LEFT SCHOOL MARRIED HAD A SON HE DIED AT 5
I BECAME A BILLIARD PLAYER AND PLACED 5TH IN THE WORLD IN THE WOMEN'S DIVISION AND A BILLIARD TEACHER AND HAVE HAD MOST OF MY PUPIALS GO ON TO WIN SILVER MEDALS AND MANY TOURNEMENTS .

I ALSO REMEMBER THAT MISS NORRIS MY PE TEACHER AND HER CO TEACHER CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME BUT SHE WAS 6'1 AND HUGE NORRIS WAS A X MARINE SARGENT AS I REMEMBER THEY WHERE LESBIANS AND TRIED TO GET IN THE SHOWER WITH ME SO THEY COULD SEE MY BODY.
I QUIT DRESSING OUT BECAUSE OF THERE HARASSMENT AND THEY FAILED ME IN PE .
WHO FAILS PE ? IT WAS SO STUPID
WELL IF THAT WERE TODAY THE WOULD HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED AND MAYBE FACED CHARGES .
NOT ALL MEMORIES OF SCHOOL ARE GOOD ONES.
