My mom was a big deal in the school district. Teachers were intimidated by her. So my bad behaviors and anxiety issues were swept under the rug instead of being told to her. I should have been in therapy probably in Kindergarten instead of 7th grade, and gotten an autism and anxiety diagnosis when I was 6 instead of in my late teens. It kind of frustrates me.

I did however, have a great 5th grade teacher who I really connected to. And my speech and 7th grade Spanish teacher were great as well.
