School Story:

I have known for most of my life that I had personality issues that impacted my social skills (or lack of same). It took me a very long time to discover why. I'm classic ADHD. It's likely that my classmates suspected or knew this before I did. I'm not looking for absolution but understanding. My road hasn't been the smoothest although I have enjoyed innumerable blessings. I count all of you among those and I apologize for my offensive manners. Thank you all for tolerating me through some of my "difficult" years. I love you all in the only way that I know how.
