I still remember the face of a girl in college, sniggering when I was giving or atleast trying to give a presentation. And way back in high school, I had to read out loud in my class, my English teacher thought I couldn't read because I stuttered so damn much standing in front of the entire class when everyone's attention is on you. She rudely told me to sit down. But then right after that class, some of my friends went over to her and probably told her (couldn't hear them) how insensitive of a person she was. She's been understanding towards me after that. Plus, I have always scored the highest grades in her class (no reading grades though) More importantly, my gratitude for my friends in school haven't been forgotten. That's a decade ago. Although I still have the urge to punch that girl from college... Haha.
