I had struggled with being bullied in school since the beginning probably as early as 3rd grade. I remember the principal of the school I went to who also happened to be female saying she was going to need my mother (then unmarried and a widow) to give her permission to skip me. I would be a 16 year old high school graduate until I repeated the 10th grade at Pennington Prep then just finished high school through home schooling in June of 1998 at age 17. I did not take high school graduation photos for the Ewing High School yearbook. However, I am happy to say that I had senior portraits taken for my college graduation from NJ City University taken on the King Holiday in January of 2015.
I started to like myself for the first time at around age 31.
