20 Compassion
Jul 18, 2019
A more serious one this time, I know, but it was something I discussed with my counselor the other day, and she suggested I create something about it. I thought, what better place to tell this story than Daydream Drama?
But yes, this is based on a true story. My 7th grade year was especially difficult. I don't know why the kids were meaner that year than all the rest, but I think not having my friends in most of my classes didn't help.
This is a memory very dear to my heart. It made my otherwise difficult year not only tolerable, but wonderful. Where I had once dreaded lunch break, I now looked forward to it. But in looking back on it, although being turned away by my classmates hurt, I feel like they did me a favor. What I gained in that year sitting with these students and their aides, was so much more than my classmates could have ever offered me. This does not excuse their behavior, of course, I'm only acknowledging that it doesn't have the power to hurt me, anymore. For the next two years of school (8th grade and freshman year of high school) I enrolled as a student aide in the Special Education class, and had so much fun working alongside the students and teachers in the program.

I hated 7th grade too, mostly cause I was in an honors class so every acted all above me and most of them had more money and all that. One of my teachers was always ready to point out my mistakes in class or my use of different methods than hers to solve problems. I often didn't do the homework cause I didn't understand, but we had the columns grade each other so she had less work and could catch the ones that were missing their assignments. I read and wrote in her class a lot to escape it and vent and had to bring an f to a c plus by the end of a trimester, my friends were in different classes too, so I had to wait to see them at lunch. I had a family member die and had to move during that year, so I did less and less, I eventually did tutoring with her even though I hated her and once I passed her class felt some relief, yeah, it was a horrible year.

A fun little comic series about my daily thoughts, musings and anxieties.
Why "Daydream Drama?" Because most of the problems in my life happen in my own head, not reality.
