I look back on that as a time of freedom. Today I can't wear costumes every day since I work, but back then I could really show people who I am and how little I cared what they thought of it.

I often hear of too many children who live in terrible situations. For a lot of these children, the only love and respect they receive is what they get from their teachers!

He lives in a difficult environment to say the least.<br />But he and I have a better understanding of each other.
