In reply to the discussion: "If you say you are gay in public you will be shot in the head." My bittersweet anniversary. [View all]Teacher of the Year

It is strange though, Fla Dem... There is this.... rift? between my life of the last ten years and my life before. I struggle to explain it but the best I can say is I was simply picked up out of my old life and put on a new road that was incredibly different that the life I had been living.
