i was discouraged by my teacher to quit trying i never thought it would make me feel this way and even makes me cry sometimes because of some sort of inability to do something i hated myself and often hid my feelings from others because of feelings of regret of some sort i was completely disappointed in myself because of lack of knowledge this brought me down by the time i reached middle school i struggled some more i thought it was my fault i struggled in math reading science,and so much more and what is more the teacher in Guyana would hit me because i was not understanding anything.i felt like a failure but then i transitioned to another school which was the best thing that happened to me i began to learn something had clicked i began to learn more and more.reading writing,math,geometry,and even algebra.but to this day i wonder was it my fault it took this long to learn these things and was it for my own good to be beaten for not knowing the answer? but somehow that teachers treatment brought fear and low self esteem and also the feeling of regret,and failure.i was afraid to speak to people i isolated myself and brought myself low to the point that i did not believe my life was worth it.i now know that what was done to me was not good and was destructive.so this is my story i was beaten for not learning at the speed they were at.i felt rejected and would often come home crying to my mother we left the country and came to america and when i came back to visit i was told that the teacher was fired from the school for beating and abusing one of the students.
