About This Quote
When I was young, I had a friend who was always picking on me. He would call me names and bully me, but he also made me feel good about myself. When the bullying stopped, so did our friendship. After I began speaking Italian, I realized that my friend was not the only one who had treated me with disrespect.
A lot of people didn’t like me because I was different. Even though my name is Tarzan, I felt like a stranger in Italy. The idea of having friends made all the difference to my life.
People are important to me, and I want them to be proud of my accomplishments.
