Never to old to learn

Never to old to lea I was four years old, soon to be five in October. School would be starting until the day after Labor Day and I wanted to start school, but are afraid to get my vaccination. I wanted to have the circle on my left arm that vaccination of healing. All children are at school. Other children told me that the shot hurts, but I wanted and I wanted to go to school. I was a small child. Most of all students and teachers seemed to like me. How can you not like a girl? I was nice but very shy. Garden fifth elementary school is pretty good, even if my notes were not good. In fifth grade, the school has become more difficult for me. I could not concentrate in class and if I knew the answer to a question, I was timid to raise their hands. I was very sick with diseases that years of childhood. Mumps, measles, chicken pox, is the name we had. I lost a lot of school. At the end of the school year, all classes of the school would be a picnic. What would be the last day of school. While playing with some of the other children to picnic, my teacher called me to her. She told me that I had lost, because both the school this year 's, would be left behind. Said my grades were just to low. I was crushed and embarrassed. I have no desire to know other kids who do not want to be in the same class were the following year. I hated to retu to school after the fall. I heard that all the children laugh and mock me. I felt around. I was not fair. I could not help if I was sick and could not go to school. I did it through the fifth grade this time and now finally move on to sixth. In the sixth grade, some of the older children make fun of me for the way I dress and I wore shoes. Our family was very poor and my father had eight mouths to feed. We were lucky to have my hands low wear. Most of my clothes fit and not become obsolete. My shoes are too big or too small. Earlier this year, I have a new team and a new pair of tennis shoes. If implemented, should have used what people I would never. There were days that I would not take the bus home after school. The other children taken on me and I walk from my house to cry. In seventh grade, I struggled to lea. I like the school did not much later. I wished that I could quit. Two of my teachers helped me with two different issues. My math teacher to spend more time with me and I enjoyed. My grades really improved and I felt better about school. Saturday all that I could baby over the weekend to make money to buy nice clothes. I wanted in line with the other students. I wanted friends and do not want to be subjected to more ridicule. My mother had to go to hospital for surgery. My two younger sisters were still in school. Dad had no one to care for them, while my mother was gone. I stayed home from school to care for them so my father could work. After the mother retued home and was able to take care of my sisters are back in school. I lost several days that I should, but my cousin for me to my house to study at home. I tried not to far behind, does not want to stay another year. Mamma is better, but then left us. Dad, once again, could not take care of the younger sisters. I stayed home from school, once again, to care for them. I miss him so much that even with the school at home by home, my grades suffered. I was told that I would not want to pass the seventh grade and had to stay another year. My family and I would now be separated. I would go to promote a new house in town. I need to start again in the seventh grade of a new school. The school is there. Nobody I knew no one make fun of me for having to stay behind. It now has a new date for the clothing. No more shoes that do not fit. I became more interesting for leaing and loved to write stories. I would do, but have had problems with spelling. When I did not know a word, I would take the dictionary and find the word. My best spelling. Eighth grade. One more year before high school. I had planned to study really hard to go to secondary school. My ratings are good in eight and are now in high school. The first year of high school, study hard. Not so easy for me as it was for some of the other students. I had to study all the time. I felt that must be stupid. I could not understand things as other students. In my house, I had to do the choruses of each day, before and after school. After dinner I have to help clean up after dinner and study. There was never any time to watch TV or do funny things. One day I was beaten by a young man who lived at home. I was moved to another house in another city. It 'been at the center of the whole school year. I felt that I could no longer go to school. I was 17 and I was enough to get out. I never went back. Many, many years later. I was now 49 years. My job for years, is now closing the doors. I was out of a job. I needed a high school diploma for any decent job with decent pay. There were not many jobs available at that time. I was given the opportunity to retu to school and get my GED, so you can find a better job. I thought it was crazy at my age to go to school. It 's a little difficult for me to grow in the school, which would be twice as hard that I was now over. I decided to try. I study all the time and as soon as I could, I did the test. I passed the test and have my GED. I was so proud. Then I was told that I should consider going to college. I just could not see me go to college, a dream that I grow, but now at my age. My husband encouraged me to go. I decided to try for a semester to see how it went. This was difficult at first. I felt strange with all the young, as I have heard that do not belong to us. Some of the young students ask me things he had seen and places I was. I felt I had something to offer everyone with my age and my years of experience. While I was in college, I started to write a book. I graduated and got my book published in 2005. Do you think you are too old to lea? I did at first, but then I realized that I was hungry for knowledge. I wanted to know more it seemed that my brain wants to take in. I think I have achieved a lot over the last five years of my life. I want to continue to lea all I can. That are never too old to lea to go from there and go for it. It's amazing what you can achieve if you want to badly enough. leaing, age, disability, achievements, abuse, education, experience, knowledge, books
