John's Story

Life Didn't really graduate from Heber, but was there in 9th grade, and remember most of these names and faces. Didn't hang out much with anyone or have many friends, was somewhat antisocial due to weird home life, but life has been good to me since then. I now live in Upstate New York, worked as critical care RN for a long time, then went to law school. Now an attorney, and am very happy. School In Heber, when I first arrived in 8th grade, I was welcomed by a bunch of jerks who wanted to fight me and tried to pick on me, because my stepbrother Shane Clark had told them that I was weak and called me off-color names (before he even knew I was coming). Brett Zeigenbald was the first to try to start something, meeting me in the hall and saying "Your brother said I can kick your ____." I hated them all, and especially Shane for helping me out so much in the transition to a new school. I remember a few of the 'cool' kids that treated me decently, Scott Fuller, Mandy Glenn..... There were just a few. But the others, whatever. You'd know if it if you weren't a decent person. I'm not bitter, I just remember how much I hated them.... My life has moved on a long time since then with too much drama to even give those people too much thought. I hope that everyone who was like me, who didn't really fit in, finds a decent place in life to be comfortable and content with themselves and happiness in adulthood. And as far as the juvenile, malicious and pretentious people who sought to make ...Expand for more
themselves feel better by degrading others, I hope they finally see themselves for what they really are and can change to become a decent person. My life at that time, the high school years, after 9th grade (the last time most of you would have seen me), was a life not many of you would understand. My stepfather was an abusive white supremacist/separatist, a survivalist, who took me and my mother away to a small town in north Arkansas to live off the land under fake names. I never finished high school (got GED and college degree later on my own); he said he was going to home-school me, but this was just a ruse to keep me at home and in control. I worked with him/for him for pennies a day, until I managed to escape finally at age 18, after being beaten into the choice of submission or defiance til (what I assumed would be) death. I defied and stood my ground and was dumped on someone else to correct my 'rebellion' and this, therefore, was my way out. This was Shane Clark's biological father (my stepfather), and probably why Shane went to live with his mother after they divorced. I envied him for having that option. It is the stuff of fiction and movies, but it happened. I'm all better now, as is my mother (we escaped years ago), but he is still there, in Evening Shade, Arkansas. So all that to say, sorry I wasn't very social and if you don't remember me, its probably well enough for both of us. Times change, as do people. College GED to college, to RN/BSN, then Law school.
