My Auntie Joanie was Coach Harris from Cristobal. She is loved by her students. I was a kid born in Panama from the Pacific side, but loved the Atlantic side. I'm sorry about your trauma. Sadly, I came to the states in the early 80's as a junior high kid. My fondest memories are from that of the Canal Zone! Viva Panamá!

Hi Lisa, thank you. I wasn’t looking for sympathy when I wrote this, but writing has been very therapeutic for me.

I really had not realized why I called myself an introvert and avoided being the center of attention until i wrote this!

someone that has been bullied wrote me and thanked me because it helped them realize this too.

Thanks for your comment!
