Although Ms. Nelson should be discredited because of the way she talked down to the kids, for some she is the reason why they are successful individuals today. Ms. Nelson had this young boy believing that he will never amount to anything in life and he had been embedding these words in his head since an early age. The words she said to him were very toxic to him and he lived by those words for a little bit.
