Moi, you are so special. That girl was the lucky one. I'm glad it was a good time in a bad time, we all need those and remember the details, because it's like a lifeline.

I remember my first college English class, which I dropped after two sessions. The teacher announced that it would be "a cold day in hell" before anyone got an "A" in his class.

I was envious of a girl in the class from a wealthy family. She had everything she wanted, including self confidence.

She got a not so good grade on her first paper. The assignment had been to buy a lemon at the grocery store, then write two pages about that lemon.

I wrote three pages, lol. When the teacher was handing back the papers, he looked at me for a few seconds, like he was studying me. I had an "A" on that paper and several comments, but dropped the class because my car quit working and I didn't have a way to class.

That look stayed with me. The little things mean a lot sometimes.
