Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget
The third grade. I had just transferred from a regular public school to a magnet school and I guess I just was not up to their standards. At my first school I was top in my class, generally well liked, good grades. Then I transfer to this magnet school and all the kids had their cliques already so I could barely make any friends at first and I somehow managed to get detention EVERY Friday and it would ruin my weekends. I got detention one time cause I was doing stretches in line before recess and the class idiot complained about it and I got written up for "kick boxing" in line. I would do my homework wrong or do something in class harsh enough to earn me lunch detention regardless of the fact that I was a polite as possible and still volunteered after class to help clean the classroom while waiting on my ride. Mrs. Kobata, if your out there, you killed my self-esteem for that and the following two years at that school. I'm training to be a teacher myself so I guess I shouldn't forget all of that because I know what teacher I want to be, one that earns the respect of their students through being worthy of it, not for them fearing me to gain it.
