At that moment, I was flattered that she liked me better than all the other students. She liked me more because I was the only student that listened, and I always set up front in class. I followed all of her instructions and did every single homework assignment she had given me. The others were lazy and they did not want to do the work. They all were joking and fighting in class. Mrs. Johnson always rewarded me every day at the end of the class, giving me chips and candy. When other students had gotten aware that she favored me the most. They envied that and hated it. That part reminds me of when Joseph's brothers said to him, “Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other. “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.” Genesis 37:19-20 NIV. That reminds me when the students would see me every day, they would call me the teacher's pet. They had kept picking on me with that until the bullying escalated into a fight. My anger had started getting the best of me when I kept getting bullied all the time because of favoritism. I even made death threats to those bullies. That is why today, I do not like favoritism. I feel that favoritism is a sin because I believe you are supposed to show kindness to all of your children and students. Loving one child more than the other child is a sin. Even if that child gives you a hard time, you still supposed to show love, not hate. That is why I thank the Lord for my child Kiara Powell. She gives me a hard time all the time. But with the grace of God, he helps me with my frustrations. That makes me show love to my child. I do not like it when people say he or she is my favorite cousin or brother. Favoring someone can get someone hurt. We all supposed to treat people the way we want to be treated. That is also my worst part of the story is dealing with bullies and favoritism.
