Being Felix Fegurgur

As I look at back at my life, I am very thankful for the people that encourage me. Great friends are hard to find and you should cherish them. Like I mentioned in my early post, I was very shy kid growing up. So shy that I didn’t talk much and teachers thought I didn’t know how to speak English. In fact, I remember one time they put me in “special class” for kids that had a hard time speaking English. They made feel like a fool. I remember a teacher telling another teacher ” Sometimes I wonder,why they ever let people in the US that don’t speak English. It should be a requirement” When she looked at me, and she saw my face. Right then, she knew that I understood what she was saying. I can tell she was embarrassed for what she said.

Even though I was so shy and didn’t talk to anyone. There was always one kid that would talk to me and make me feel welcomed. I thank God there were kids like that,cause without them I don’t know where I would be today. Its no fun for a new kid,to just sit by himself and wish he were some where else. That’s why I hated being a military kid,cause every time I made great friends. Either I or they had to move to another place. But later on thru my years it made appreciate having great friends!

As of today, I only have a handful of great friends. But these people I cherish for as long as I live! Two people that I consider my best friends. One…..she knows who she is The other one…. Is not actually a friend. He is my first cousin(his dad and my dad are brothers). Me and him have a bond that will last a lifetime. I thank God everyday for these two.

So if you have great friends, cherish them for as long as you live.

God Bless,

Felix
