This week, my class was assigned to respond to an article on bullying. This topic is something near and dear to my heart because as a child, I was put through a lot. At the time, I was hurt over being teased because that kind of pain is very hard to go through alone, but now, I realize that if I hadn't been bullied, I would not be as strong as I am now. Even to this day, people still like to tease me, but I recoil with humor or something witty in return. I know that if someone has to make fun of someone else to feel good about themselves, there must be something seriously wrong in their lives. I truly believe my call in life is to help children, wether it be to teach them, train them to be a better person, or even to be just someone they can go to. This is what I strive to do because if I can help just one child to not feel the way I did when I was younger, I have achieved a great feet.
