Part 3 Bullying in the Eye of the Victims: Discovering My True Potential

I have always loved to sing, and i have always love choir, but in elementary my choir teacher failed me every single year, and when i asked him why, he did not give me an answer, he luaghed in my face and then walked away. Of course with me being kind of stuborn, i decided to keep on being in choir through middle school, where i had an amazing solo for the beginning of Joyful Joyful from one of the sister act movies. It was really cool actually. In elementary school i had to take art and my art teacher failed me every year, and when i asked her why, she said, becuase your art work didnt meet the criterea. Well, at least she gave me an answer. She also kind of ended my art carreer, until one day in middle school, when i was doodling on my folder, and the Math teacher came around and said that my drawing was really good and she told me that i should take an art class. So i went home and  showed my mom the drawing, she looked really impressed. So the next semester, i left choir behind, and i was only going to do it for one semester, but my art teacher loved me, and said that i had amazing artistic skills, and she recomended that i take art club, and everone ion art club were impressed by my skills as well. So i found that no matter how hard people tried to insult my art work, they saw it and they couldntt insult it, becuase it was too good apparently. Every jerk made fun of my singing, so although i still sing in my free time, at school I am an artist. Not the performing kind, but the painting, drawing, sketching kind. Bullying changed the way i thought about myself, but i realised in middle school that what people say to me is just a load of crap trying to get me down, and yet again, with me being stuborn, I wouldnt let it get me down. In middle school i discovered my true potential.
