My Story...

I feel very lucky that I never had anyone in school ever cruelly tease or bully me – I do think back then (must’ve been around 1971-1972) that really wasn’t a problem where I grew up…. So I started 3rd grade in RI…. I honestly always enjoyed school and was really happy to simply hang out with my friends, there were ALWAYS kids at our house!! Apparently even at this young age I had a serious purse fixation,when my Mom tried to get rid of bags she no longer used I would stash them in the closet in my room. In fact, I was the kid that would always stick up for other kids who were being teased because we were always taught to be nice to everyone, I’m sure I wasn’t perfect of course – but I also was NOT afraid to stand up to mean kids either! My Mom was then – and STILL is now – the Mom who all our friends wanted to be around!!!! She is a true blessing. My family is still very close,in fact we all live in RI still…. PS: Haha hope no one is “envious”of that scary haircut I had!
