By Nick Hall on January 17, 2019

I was one of those children who was anxious about everything from age 4 on. In third grade, I had a math teacher who would hold my work up (with mistakes) as an example of what not to do. So, I decided not to go back to school for quite a while. I eventually returned, but […]
