Teachers Make Bad Predictions

stormdogI saw a meme on Facebook that I loved with a picture of Laverne Cox, quoting her as saying:
"My third grade teacher called my mother and said "Ms. Cox, your son is going to end up in New Orleans in a dress if we don't get him into therapy." And wouldn't you know, just last week I spoke at Tulane University, and I wore a lovely green and black dress."
Some teachers aren't very good predictors of kids' futures, though I suppose this one got it right in their way! *laughs*
I had a teacher who told my parents that I have no manual dexterity whatsoever. Maybe that's why I never quite got my five-ball cascade down solid? I can do some relatively complex three-ball work though. Unfortunately, my rola-bola is in Wisconsin 'cause that thing was fun. I wonder if I could combine that with ribbon work somehow?
