I know that I posted a similar post last year, but I am posting it again because I have an additional piece of information that I want to share, and I hope that writing this will help put some of my unresolved issues and trauma to bed.
When I wrote last year about the mistreatment that occurred to me during my school years, I didn’t include the voicemail message that my principal left me because I didn’t want to be too overdramatic. But this year, I purposely included the voicemail message she left on my family’s house phone because I wanted everyone to know and understand that this occurrence was very real.
I am bringing this up now because ever since she left that message, I have been plagued with the many horrible memories that happened to me during my school years. I am extremely upset about this because, after all these years of very hard work to repress these bitter memories, I finally made peace with all the injustices that were done to me and was starting to forget all my bitter experiences slowly. But her message brought back all my bad memories, and it haunts and plagues me every day and night, and I haven’t had a moment of rest since then.
I hope this will help build awareness and understanding of the importance of treating students with disabilities fairly. Asking to be treated with compassion and empathy is too much of a reach to ask for these ignorant, stuck-up, pompous, malicious creatures (they don’t deserve to be called people because people treat other people with dignity and respect ), but I shouldn’t have to suffer from nightmares just because she wants to feel good by thinking that she did the” right thing” by asking for forgiveness.

“To the Klang family. This is Mrs. Weiser calling again. If I did anything wrong to Mrs. Klang, Mrs. Klang, or his two children once again before Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year), I want to ask for your forgiveness. I am really sorry. I don’t even remember what It was, but whatever it was, if it still hurt them, then it must’ve been something wrong, and I really once again want to say: I ask forgiveness one time I ask forgiveness, I ask forgiveness, and I am really really sorry. I hope from the bottom of my heart that you will forgive me, and if you will forgive me, then I am sure that God will forgive you for every single thing that you might’ve done. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t say that you did anything wrong, but I would appreciate very much true forgiveness from your whole family, the Klang family. Have a good holiday and be well.”
