My fascination with tattoos lasted about an hour after I got mine. I raced over to the sink and tried to wash it off, thinking that the ink couldn\u2019t have settled in yet. As I scrubbed my finger in hopes of washing it off, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. \u201cMy mom is going to kill me, she will never talk to me again.\u201d My stomach twisted and turned as I tried to find a solution to my impulsive mistake. Band-Aids to the rescue, I raided my friend\u2019s medicine cabinet. I happily wrapped the bandage around my finger with a sigh of relief. How long can I wear a bandage before my mom or brother asks, \u201cWhat happened to your finger?\u201d I needed a better cover\u2026a ring\u2026that would do the trick. So, I kindly asked my friend who had a high school ring if I could borrow it, he said, \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 I wore that for a year or so\u00a0before I had to give it back. I hid my tattoo since the day I got it, behind a bandage, a ring, and regret.\u00a0\u00a0 So much for being cool and having a tattoo.<\/p>\n

I was about 20 years old when I realized hiding it was unnecessary\u2026it was my scar of ADOLESCENCE and I had to accept it. I had investigated getting it removed many times but lacked the finances to do so.<\/p>\n

When I started teaching at Crossroads School, I shared with my students a life lesson about making choices and the regret I had about the tattoo. Well, the life lesson came back to me. One of my students remembered the story and took it upon himself to share it with his peers and parents. At the end of the school year, I was given an envelope with money for laser tattoo removal and a kind note. I was blown away by his insight and empathic nature. \u00a0I was reminded once again, DON\u2019T UNDERESTIMATE A KID! \u00a0The life lesson was mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
