1977 - three years old. I remember that Becky and Robert Young baby sat me, Karin and my aunt Lisa. So I guess when I was 3 years old my aunt Lisa was about 10 and my sister Karin was about 8 years old. I also remember that Becky and Robert Young just had a mattress on the floor and Becky and Robert's kids Amy and James would never sleep in their beds up in their rooms. They would always sleep on the bottom floor in Becky and Robert's room. They all lived in Lumberton Texas.
Something happened at school and wouldn't ask to go to the toilet. I was scared that they would hear my voice as all individuals with SM are afraid. But I did learn a trick. When I don't look at the person when I am speaking or when I am upstairs. Oh I told myself that I would get myself a reward if I yelled from upstairs all the way downstairs. So I got myself a top and capri denim leggings.
1978 - I was about 4 years old. When us kids, well it was mainly Amy and James acting up and Robert drove down 11th street and told us kids to get out of the car or something like that. Well Robert tried to drop us off at vacant lot. There was no house there. Well there could have been a house there, maybe a small house. Robert also told us that a witch lived there. Joking or not he shouldn't have done that because it scared the crap out of me!
1979 - I was 5 years old. Bullying. Entering kindergarten at Willbanks Elm. (the building is now the BISD office) I can remember me standing outside of Kindergarten class and could haven very well been wearing a yellow dress but I don't know. I remember this red headed kid named Paul Beaumont. I liked him a lot but didn't know how to tell him. Yes, I had a kindergarten crush. His sister was Jennifer Beaumont. I didn't know how to read well. So I do remember my mom carrying hooked on phonics boxes up to the house on Broadmoor street. There was this dog named TJ and it was Donna's dog. Donna was my sister's best friend. I would scream and yell according to my mom and sister and apparently TJ the dog didn't like that. One day my sister Karin let me in the gate where she was and TJ bit me on the nose. Still to this day, I have the scar. I heard my mom saying to Karin that day keep an eye on your sister. Then I got my tonsils out about the same time.
1980 - I was 6 years old. First grade. Bullying.
1981 - I was 7 years old. Second grade. Still bullying until my childhood best friend, Jennifer Ash came along and got me a bodyguard, Robin Hickman. Yes, I do remember them. Jennifer is a friend on Facebook.
1982 - Third grade. I think I was about 8 years old. Bullying.
1983 - 4th grade and was about 9 years old. Bullying. I was put in the hospital in Galveston Texas because of Selective Mutism.
1984 through to about 1985 - I was still in the hospital. A little bit of bullying with this black kid named Leeroy. He tried to rape me even with my clothes on. Well I was the only girl there in the hospital.
1985 - I went into middle school at 11 years old. Bullying continued. Someone said that I would go all the way on a first date. Not true. Then someone said that I bit someone's sister. Again, not true.
