[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was around 9 when I realized that not everyone lived like my family did, and that people are dinner every night and not every couple of nights like we did. That was also the year my school guidance counselor took me shopping for a pair of shoes that fit. He just put me in his car and we went to a shoe store. It was my first new pair of shoes ever and I was proud as shit of them. [/quote]

I remember getting a really good summer internship at the US Capitol in high school and running into my gym teacher one day when I should've been at work. She chewed me out for wasting the opportunity and then I finally broke down and explained to her that someone there commented on my wearing the same thing everyday and I was too ashamed to go back. She made me get in her car, but didn't tell me where we were going. She drove me to Hechts downtown and bought me five pairs of slacks, five shirts, five ties and a pair of shoes. She didn't say a single thing to me about it ever again. It's probably the nicest thing any teacher has ever done for me. [/quote]
