on, I would be protected from the fast and hard fist. My brace could have acted like a metal suit of armor if that problem ever came across. I also learned a fun and useful trick when I had it. True, it is probably not an extremely challenging trick and many people can do it, but still it was handy and fun to use.

Back to kindergarten all throughout elementary and a bit of 6th grade, I was in so much emotional pain. I wasn’t happy with my appearance or body, I would always put myself down, had zero confidence in myself and hated who I was. There was a point where I believed everyone who left me out, and made fun of me. I believed…

the playground with a kid I had never talked to before. All my life I had been very outdoorsy and absolutely loved playing outside. Being on the playground was where I was happiest. As I grew up and moved to two different schools from fourth to sixth grade, I had begun to lose my outgoing personality. I became shyer and was less likely to start new conversations with new people since I was out of my comfort zone. By sixth grade however, I had been at Shadow Hills Elementary for about a year…

communication? BRIEF ANSWER Yes. This is due to the fact that reasonable precautions were taken by having the products liability team examine each document, and furthermore, having a paralegal sit in with Mr. Beene while he was sifting through the documents. While the second and third factors are not being disputed solely for the reason that the inadvertent disclosures did occur, and the extent of them was very minor in comparison to the total, the fourth factor also determined that there was…
