When a bullied kid grows up - CNN.com: "Holding onto a job was a struggle for him, but not for lack of willingness to work. Sarkany has a degree in business administration with a specialty in computer applications and systems, and his many positions have included cook, warehouse supervisor, bank teller, programmer and clerk. He believes he lost several jobs because he didn't want to associate too much with other people, and was told several times, 'You just don't seem to fit in.' People thought of him as 'sneaky, guarded, loner, or unknown quantity,' he said."

Grown up, looking back; don't see myself as having been bullied.  

Definitely a loner.

First aware of it around seventh grade. 

Also the year report card showed first of what became a run of straight A's .

Told once, "didn't fit in."

 Representative of Lamda Chi Alpha.

Second year at University of Arkansas. 

Last attempt at joining a Greek fraternity.

"Sneaky." "Guarded."

 Louisiana State University-School of Veterinary Medicine.

Just looking at my grade, second year of veterinary school, would show you something happened that year.

   Although hardly alone, still a loner.
