I had all good teachers throughout school except for a world history teacher in junior high. Everyone knew she had several screws loose.....but I got through her class well too.

Grade school I had wonderful teachers but 3rd grade & 5th grade stood out. I was always one of the top students & was always involved in music & orchestra from 3rd grade on. Always athletic on the playground but I was never the kind of person who was a part of a group of kids. I got along with all while choosing when I wanted to participate. No idea how everyone accepted it. Part of that was because my mom didn't drive so I had no after school activities to bond better with any groups of kids.

I bonded with my 5th grade teacher & didbstay friends for several years until he died from a heart attack.

One professor in college really was outstanding. I learned more practical information from this statistics prof than from any other prof. Even at 65 I remember some if his wise business practical advice.

School was good. No outstanding experiences & no bad ones. I had learned to stand up for myself at a very young age because my parents were incapable of doing that so I learned how to make it known what was ok & not ok for myself.

In grade school there was a posture class they wanted me in & it conflicted with my orchestra. No way was that getting in the way of orchestra so I took care of that...think that was in 3rd grade.

I would care for the underdog & still get along with those who weren't. Nobody messed with me & being an only child I had no siblings to watch out for me. Maybe I was just in good schools with good kids. Considering I graduated from high school in 1970 it might have been before society has degraded into what it seems to have become.

I didn't grow up with any mental health issues of my own but I sure had parents with undiagnosed conditions because the knowledge didn't exist in those days.
