It is Official, I am Not Retarded

In making this comment I mean no disrespect to those who are, it is just that I have been called retarded and told that I have a learning disability when last I tried to learn Spanish. Today my teacher told me that I learn very fast and that I am a good student. It was good news....it has bolstered my confidence given my history. And I have achieved this with not much out of class study....but I do do some everyday. Much to my surprise, I am actually learning Spanish!
