March 13 Bullied then, successful now!

In elementary school, I was always a solid student, but I was small, slender, and soft-spoken. This frequently made me the target of the more aggressive classmates. When it came time for someone to need an answer, I was the source. But when it was time to laugh at or pick on someone, I was the target. I was aware of this, but powerless to change it. I was raised to be respectful and polite, both of which accentuated the problem. One day at lunch, our class had gone to the cafeteria, but I was lagging behind for some reason. I remember being sad, and as I started down the steps to the lunch room, a firm hand was placed on my shoulder. It was the principal, Mr. Fallber. His words reassured me, and he encouraged me to keep my standards high. Then he said, you will be the kind of person they look up to one day. Looking back over 50 years, I could never have imagined how true his words would be.
