Never had trouble. Idk why. I never saw teachers as above me.
  They're just doing their jobs and I was doing the job I had no
  choice in. [sitting there]. Probably by 4th/5th grade I realized
  they weren't all THAT much smarter than me - they just had the
  teacher's version of the textbook. A few good ones though. But
  all through school I was like, "eh, I could do what they do and
  do it better". Probably why I thought of being a teacher. Same
  with my pastor. I'd see cops and they'd be the older brothers or
  uncles of kids I went to school with. Local politicians were the
  dads of ppl I went to school with. Two kids in my class got into
  commercials - I saw them on TV. So there really wasn't any walls
  for me in social strata. Guess I was lucky or weird or
  something.
