When I was 17, I was hyperactive and annoyed my teachers.

I remember teachers who really singled me out for their discouragement.

I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.

I'm embarrassed every time I look a teacher in the eye, because we ask them to do so much for so little.

I did things like get in a cupboard before the teacher came in at the beginning of a lesson, and then, two minutes before the end of the class, I come out of the cupboard and go, 'Sorry I'm late.'

I found it really difficult when teachers talked down to me.

Some of my high school teachers did remind me that I had an excellent imagination when it came to making up excuses.

When there was a fight in school, because I was the tall one, the teachers would say, 'I know you were there. I could see you.'

Kids nowadays, I remember when I was in school, they were just rude, even to the teachers and stuff.

Students never think it can be the teacher's fault and so I thought I was stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn't do it. Then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. That made all the difference and I learned that it's how you present it that makes it scary or friendly.
