I knew when a 16 year old volleyball player entered my 10th grade World History class and I was a 26 year old, pregnant, married, teacher. I was immediately drawn to her and the attraction scared me to death. I spent the next 12 years in fierce denial, repetitively calling our relationship everything but what it was, and finally in desperation, I came out to God, myself, and to her and now we are happily married, and I am glad I have the love of my life in my life.
