My Worst Mistake

My worst mistake happened when I was in 3rd grade. To start off, the night before my first day of school, my dad died in a motorcycle accident. My mistake was going to school the next day. I tried to tell my teacher why I was so upset, but she didn't believe a word out of my mouth. She went around telling other staff members that I made up this story "to get attention". Me, being a furious little 3rd grader, marched into my teacher's classroom and confronted her. The only thing you could hear between all of her yelling, was me crying. I spent days out of school trying to get over how traumatized I was. Although the teacher "apologized", I will never forgive her for the way she made me feel. Who could blame me?
