Essay: Looking into an Old Yearbook

“You were my person to pick on,” wrote a girl named Mary, (I no longer recall her) who added, “I hope you’re not sick as much next year.”

At 15 I was bullied for my blindness in school and I found every way possible to stay home.

I read Machiavelli that year. Also “Leaves of Grass” — all alone. Thanks Mary.
