I have always wanted to share this story because it is one of the things that I will remember for my entire life. And I’m sure person feels the same.
We had a new teacher in my high school World History class. She was very nice and excited to see us. She told a story about her fighting in a war and brought a picture of him. After about fifteen of her talking, the class started talking softly to each other they were getting bored. Looking , she asked “So, you guys don’t really want to hear any more?” No one dared to actually say “no” to her out loud one kid. He said, “No, not really!” in a disrespectful way. Some kids were a little and thought that it was rather rude.
I felt extremely bad for this teacher. No one deserves to be in such a disrespectful manner. , a little before class let out, I went up to her and for the guy’s rude behavior. I told her I had been , and even though I may not entirely like , I did appreciate her sharing her story. I asked her about her father and asked to see the picture of him. We had a very nice, genuine conversation about her father.
The teacher was . She really appreciated me coming up and actually treating her with the that she deserved. I felt at full peace with myself knowing that I did the right thing and I was super happy that I actually . Even though I didn’t really care for history, I listened, and I hope that others in different situations will do the same. Listening means a lot to the people sharing; it really . If I had just left the class without saying a word, I would have felt extremely and would have a constant reminder, probably to this day, that was not served and I had left a person in their time of need.
