'My 17 Years as an Unauthorized Jew' (The Good, section 2: Early Mental Meltdown part 1: Grass Hopper Wing)
I deeply admired my second grade teacher and I’m not sure why I ended up connecting so much with her, but usually this sort of thing is called a "crush". She and her husband would baby-sit me for my parents and I remember one of our activities was watching insects. We would look for ants to see what kinds of things they would carry back to their nests like grass hopper wings. I became very interested in nature and insects, which caused my parents to wonder if I might grow up to become a scientist. In the middle of that school year my teacher was offered a position in California and moved away. The loss was devastating for me, and both the school system and my parents were unable to get me back on the academic track.

Aww... that's sad. First episode of depression, maybe? Caused by grief? That sucks.
