What happens in school stays with us forever, in one way or another, despite our best efforts to overcome it. <br /><br />I'd love to find out if today's students will be better adjusted when they graduate than I was when I graduated.

It's a weird thing.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03361076209603565742noreply@blogger.com
