I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.I had an English teacher, Mr.Creech, who knew I couldnt read. In one of my first lessons the

19、teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation.
