Elementary School Years

Well the years from my first day of Kindergarten until fifth grade were a little rough at home, but at school, I was always ahead of my class.  The teachers would always give me my homework at least a week in advance because I was always so far ahead of the general population of the students.  Now, the elementary school years were not all good. I did not have very many friends and I was a social outcast.  That was mainly because people found me as a nerd who actually does his homework instead of just waiting until the last minute to do it and hope that you can get it turned in when the teacher collected it.  I was highly praised by all the teachers and I almost skipped fifth grade, which I highly regret not taking that opportunity now.  My home life, ever since I can remember, has been shit.  I was at that point in my life abused mentally psychologically and even physically.  My grandmother out of her love for me was concerned about my well-being and called Child Protective Services to have them do an investigation of my parents.  Well they decided that it was not too terribly bad and that all the family needed was counseling.  What a joke that was.  They assigned a counselor, who was supposed to come to our house, stay, and talk with the family for about an hour, hour and a half or so.  The problem with that was he called in sick like most the time so instead of getting the help we were supposed to for about 15 weeks once a week, we got about 2 weeks, once a week. Therefore, the help my family needed dearly was lost. We never got it and have since been to at least 5 different counselors none of which have helped more than a little bit.  This will set you up for the Junior high school years yet to come.
