    Hey Buddy. I too was a troubled student. My parent moved me from South America to the Middle East before I came to the USA. My folks are Southern Americans from Louisiana and Georgia, so I entered school in a little town near Atlanta. Most of my teachers thought I was either retarded or just useless. I spoke several languages, but English wasn’t my best one. Thinking back, I was probably smarter than most of my teachers because of where I had traveled in my first 7 years of my life. I can count on one hand, the teachers that I remember and respected.
    Keep up the good work Buddy!! I love it!
