In high school I had huge problems with algebra, geometry and physics. I didn't understand it at all, the last year I had a tutor doing everything for me.
In grade 9, I didn't pass the spring algebra test, it was horrible, everyone thought, the students, teacher, you are stupid. That how our school used to be, you have to blend in. That day I said, I didn't prepared, because my dog had puppies. The teacher mentioned: all the dogs have puppies, come back at August.
I knew my parents would be mad, my mom would be mad at me all summer.
I was crying, thinking how am I going to say it.
Near my grandmother's house, tree old ladies were sitting on a bench, even now they are sitting on the same bench.
They asked me what happened, because my black mascara made lines on my face, my nose was red, lipstick all over. It was a long walk, from one side of the city to another.
I am telling the story, algebra, August... wiping my eyes.
And then I hear the women whispering:"She is crazy..."
