What if one day, I started to feel a huge anger overtaking me? First, I remembered a miserable dispatcher who had worked for us for too long, who was unnecessarily abusive to all of us but always showed a fake “sweet face” to my husband who could not understand the problem. Next, there was our crooked partner who started to embezzle from us almost from her first day and would show teenage anger and pout and cry if we asked any questions.

What if I saw myself taking them both by the hair and kicking them out of the front gate?

What if I realized that the person I was really mad at was ME because instead of standing up for myself, I had taken way too long to do anything about these teachers who were trying to make me stronger?
