I've already started the "Alternate Track" to becoming a teacher, so we'll see! But, I never was really worried about kids not liking me! In fact, I was frightened of the young women liking me too much! I'm not too terribly ugly, I've got a nice body, I'm very outgoing and friendly, I would be in a position as a teacher they would respect (Hopefully!), being handicapped makes me exotic and unusual, I'd be active in extra cirracular activities, and the fact that I'm handicapped and young women are trained from birth to be very compassionate and sympathetic makes me frightened of what kinds of things I might have to deal w! ------------ Give me a break, I'm brain damaged!
