Growing up
As we mentioned, Cory was his own person and always stayed true to himself when he was growing up. But because of this, he really took a beating at school for it by the other kids. A lot of kids picked on him for being so different and sticking out from the norm.
Cory knew that he couldn’t give up on himself and was not going to let a little bit of bullying get to his head and make him conform. He was going to be his own person no matter what. He was tough mentally and he could take it, it didn’t matter what they threw at him.
