Sure but the majority of Latinos don ' t call other Latinos Mexicans as a default . <| sep |> When I was in 8 th grade I had this super cool science teacher Mr Davis . He was funny and joked with us and used monty python clips to tie into his lessons and showed us 2001 a space odyssey and everyone liked him and felt like he was approachable and trustworthy . My home life at the time was totally shit , my stepdad had had a diabetic stroke , and my mom and big sister were working themselves to the bone to pay medical bills and take care of him . They were tired and angry and we fought a lot . I was depressed and had developed an anxiety disorder . I started self harming . Anyway thats just back ground for the story . Mr Davis had assigned a hurricane map to chart the hurricanes that season and i just . didnt do it mostly . I had enough on my plate . The last day i could potentially turn it in he asked if I had it , i said no . He cheered , fist pumped , explained to the class he had won a monetary bet with my history teacher that i wouldnt have this assignment . Aloud . In front of the entire class . Any trust i had in adult figures outside my family disappeared , any drive i had for school was gone . I ended up in summer school , then dropped out in 9 th grade . I got my ged at 17 but it took me a really long time to find a passion for school or a drive for anything and not having that exacerbated depression issues and was working shit jobs trying to survive . I almost didnt make it out alive . Im 25 now and im in school to teach preschool and i finally know what i want to do and have a passion for learning . But i still have major trust issues with anyone in authority . Fuck you Mr . Davis you fucked a girls life up for 20 bucksTLDR favorite and most trusted teacher cheers in front of the class when i dont have an assignment cos he bet 20 bucks with my history teacher i wouldnt have it . Fucks me up for years
