Embarrassing School Story

So, it’s that time of year! Back to school. Not for me, but maybe for you. So I thought I’d write a few blogs about back to/school. And where would I start other than with something embarrassing?

            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.
