My thanks to the San Diego Union for the excellent, and inspiring article about a young lady who was bullied in high school. Her name is Gizelle Studevent. The bullying took place via nasty, abusive, racist, (she is half Mexican) and extremely demeaning notes and letters. The tormenter was anonymous and relentless. Part of the problem was that Gizelle was an outstanding basketball player. To make a long story short, Gizelle worked harder and harder at her sport, and guess what? She earned a scholarship to Penn State. She has done very well there. This story reminds me of the old saying: "Success is the best revenge." To date, Gizelle does not know the identity of her tormenter. She was asked an interesting question: "What would you say to the person who bullied you in school?" She answered..........."Thanks."
This is a very short synopsis of the article. There is much more. If you would like to learn more, please log on to UT San Diego, Gizelle Studevent.
