She was my kindergarten teacher. She just knew I was going to be the first kid that she'd had in 20 years of teaching that would ace the yearly standardized test the state gave us. I would have too, if I would have paid enough attention to the test to answer the last two questions, but I couldn't sit still for very long. It still took till 6th grade for them to realize I had ADD. Luckily for Mrs. Graham my little brother is also really good at tests, but didn't have ADD. He was her first perfect tester.

First teacher I made cry was a Montessori school teacher. I was her prized pupil, and she called my mother in tears because, "he CAN'T be sick today. The board of directors is here!"
