So my sophomore
year of high school I knew nobody at the school I went to. People were fairly
nice and what not, but it is always nice to know somebody or recognize people
in classes on the first day. The first week of school, I went to the wrong gym
class. Not only that, but I arrived late to my next class almost every day that
week because I went to the wrong gym class. I was starting to make friends in
that class and suddenly I get a call saying the teacher is dropping me because
I haven’t been showing up to class. So I talk with the teacher over the phone
to try and clear it up. He asked what we’ve been doing in class. When I say
football, he understands what’s been happening.
So, a week
into school, I have to explain to my new friends that I’ve been going to the wrong
gym class and won’t be with them for that period. Then I have to answer
questions from my new classmates such as, “Are you new?” and make new friends.
Plus, I had to get timed running the mile because I missed that day in the
class. Running is good for you, I try to do it now and again, but I’m no
runner. I much prefer dancing or marching…
So, the
rest of my educational career, I always double or triple checked that I was in
the right class. I checked room numbers, teachers’ names, etc. It made me feel
a little bit better every time someone would realize their mistake and leave or
in college I had a friend realize it while the teacher was giving his life spiel.
She didn’t want to seem disrespectful and leave so she stayed for that part.
