<p>First off, I’m someone who doesn’t take well to stuffy environments.</p>
<p>I went to a Catholic school during the 3rd grade. Where my class was situated during Mass on Fridays during school, we were in front of the prayer candles at the front of the church. So this combination of smoke, incense, and the stuffy air was not good for me. My teacher got really angry because these smells made me sick, saying how she “never had a student before who felt sick in church!” and glared at me when I wouldn’t come back inside.</p>
<p>She would also take hairbrushes at me once in a while if she deemed my hair too messy, saying how I should “clean myself better.”</p>
<p>In addition to this, I had a classmate who left the school because that same teacher yelled at her for not doing her homework once. I think her mother had problems with the teacher in general and that there was more going on, but it was too long ago to remember. Anyway, she was fired the next year.</p>
