I went to class and the days lesson was on Greek Mythology. I had never known of its existence. I just stared at the pictures in wonderment and the stories of dramatic gods. But I had a delayed reaction. It was the next day that I was sitting outside the library enjoying the 3-D of the moment when I put them all together, that is everything came to life. For the first time the written word came to life with emotions, action, and concepts. Wow, the images overwhelmed me and tears started running down my cheeks. Life gained another dimension, it was becoming more like the world of my Grandma, school lessons were becoming real, they were becoming emotional. I did not understand then but my world evolved around emotions and concepts, not around sights and sounds, facts, and trivia, I could not remember them.
Wow, this was a giant step forward. School could make more sense, school could be fun and that was new. I was elated. Little did I know that my hopes would be drug to the lowest level yet.
