Do you remember last week telling you about the teacher who sold me mountain dew out of his classroom? Well he was my history teacher. A amazing teacher. He had his own style that when he talked you listened. One thing he hated was the intercom system. I remember him throwing something at the intercom system one time. He was cool like that.
What you may not know about me is that when I was in middle school and high school I babysat at least 20 hours a week. This is how I paid for things like school clothes and extras. I took it very seriously and took my money very seriously, so one day we were setting in class and the teacher got called out of class for something. A minute or so later he walked back in. not a big deal. Except he noticed he that someone had opened a window. He was livid that someone would touch the window. So he started screaming and asking who opened the window. No one would admit it; honestly to this day I had no clue who opened it. What I did know is that the lady I babysat for would be picking me up the moment I got out of school. So he told us that we would not be leaving school until the person admitted opening the window. I was growing madder by the minute because I had to leave, I had a job. A serious job that my friends would not understand. This went on for several minutes. I lost it. I stood up and said “look this is not a big deal to most of you, but to me I have a job and do not have time for this. Just say you opened the stupid window”. Or at least I said something close to that. I think it shocked him. He looked at me and said something encouraging and then told me I could leave. I left and I am sure he let everyone leave or maybe he did not because they were all there when I returned the next day.
Are you tired of my school stories? I have a couple of more to talk about next week and then I promise to move on.
