They made fun of me each time I wanted to write "today& #39;s date" on the board because my hands couldn& #39;t reach the top of the board.
They nicknamed me "CRUTCHES", Crutches not even "Mr. Crutches"

See, I can& #39;t control the way they feel about me, I can& #39;t change them.

but you know what I did? I changed my #perspective, I played along with the mockings. I told them each time "see my hand cannot reach the top of the board, I will start from where my hand can reach"
