“I’m sorry,” words I often say too much. It is like admitting defeat to the situation. Though I believe what I did was not wrong, they say I have to apologize. I want to protest but I need to show remorse and that it will not happen again. I have apologized so much that I don’t even mean it anymore. I forget that it is supposed to be sincere and real but when I say it means nothing. The feelings have gone away and I’m like a broken record apologizing for everything I did wrong. Before I believed that you were only supposed to apologize when you mean it but I just apologize to get out of trouble. There was an incident in my fifth-period class. It started with me trying to help a classmate to understand the work we were given. The teacher kept telling me to turn around …show more content…
or go to the office. I then asked if I could go down to the office because I wanted to excuse myself from the situation.
There was just so much yelling and it wasn't that big of a deal. I came back up because they were not there and she made it seemed like I was not doing my work or participating when she never called on me to do anything. I was using a calm voice but she was yelling at me, so then my friends got involved and she started yelling at them when they were using their inside voice. I had then made some excuse about calling my mom which I did but I had then gone the counselor's office because I had to talk about with someone to explain what I felt during that moment instead of bottling it up. I had started to cry because all of my feelings were rushing and I had no idea how to handle them. By the time I was done class was over and it was time for next period. I go upstairs and they tell me that she was telling another teacher we were yelling and twisting the whole thing. She was acting all nice to me like nothing had happened. Like it was not her fault; I had a breakdown and did not come back to class. During my sixth period, I was called to the office to get a lecture about my behavior because it was my
fault. A child was not supposed to do that and some other things about respecting our elders. Blaming me for what happened calling my mom telling her I got in trouble for being disrespectful. She then told the principal that everyone had been acting up. They told me that I had to apologize so I said that I'm not going to and walked off. I thought that maybe this is the time that I can respect my morals and stick to the fact that I was not sorry and that I would do it again if I had to because I believe that what I did was right. I then heard that if I apologized that we would forget about the write-ups and start over. There was a lot to think about and it was hard but in the end, I said “ I’m sorry,” Just to get myself out of trouble. I forgot what the word meant to me, what it meant to others. Knowing right when I said it, it did not mean it would not happen again. All it meant was for a short period it will not happen again.
This particular class period consisted of around 3 students, but one student was working particularly just by himself with his teachers aid. Even before it started Ms.Metcalf classroom energy felt a bit off, and come to find out that during lunch one of the students had been teasing the other student. The student that had also been causing trouble had out of nowhere stolen paper clips off of Ms.Metcalf. The other student was not able to stay on task, because he still felt upset from the incident that occurred during lunch. This soon became more of a discipline class rather than the student learning about math, and apparently the "bully" had created pointer with the paper clips that could have actually hurt someone. Soon after Ms. Metcalf had to call the assistant principles to step in to discipline the student, and lost a entire day of instructions due to one student misbehavior. After the misbehaving student had left she went over to the emotional distraught student and began discussing that he should never let people 's words if they weren 't nice and that entire lesson became a lesson on
I preceded to apologize and explain the motives behind my actions. I told her that some of her classmates were teasing her about her hair standing up. Unfortunately, the mother was not receptive to my explanations. However, she immediately started shouting at me. She told me to shut my mouth. Also, she waved her fingers in my face. The step-mother said she don't care about the statements of her classmates. I backed away because the step-mother was invading my space by moving too close to me. I asked the headteacher (Ms. Reynolds) if I could be excused from the bathroom because I did not feel safe. The teacher agreed and continued to console the
I’m sorry that you see me as out to get you since the first week of school. I’m am also sorry if you can no longer do track because of your grades, but if you would have asked for extra work or help I could have given you more help or more time to complete assignments.. I felt as though I was doing a good job and giving you fair grades for your work. Lets forget about that and talk about recent happenings. I don’t think that you singing the “ Star Spangled Banner” is appropriate during my hour for several reasons. This is because there is a rule about being quiet while the playing, and it is a disturbance to the other children that are here to learn. I only sent you out of the classroom because your actions were an interruption
As a young kid in the fifth grade you don’t really consider the other kids feelings that you have help contribute upon putting down and making fun of until you are forced to see all the hurt you have caused to that individual. It was on a Friday afternoon school was getting ready to dismiss when a couple of kids and I surrounded and made fun of one individual I knew the decision to do so was wrong because it felt wrong but I decided to do so anyway because I didn’t want to be on the receiving end. As a result to being involved in the bullying I was giving detention that next Saturday morning by one of my favorite teachers which made me feel even more ashamed of my actions, the next morning I attended my detention
Well, to start off anything i wasn't good with being in class quietly i was always making people laugh and disrupting the class. I truly hated sitting and being lectured so i'd do something to be put out. For example, I was reading a book outside of the class and for no reason i just took the book and threw it back into the classroom. I was i problem starter and i was always in trouble and i knew doing that would lead me nowhere but in a suspension. But i wanted my reputation higher so continued the terrible things i did.
On February 21, 2016, I, Deputy John Arnold, went to 11747 West 105th Street South to assist another deputy in reference to a fight in progress.

After countless hours of uncomfortable naps and tasteless meals between flights, we finally arrived at the unfamiliar land of America. Leaving all our dear friends and families behind, I was told that we came here in hope of a better future, my future specifically. I was never really socially active and at the time, English was a whole new concept that I have yet to understand. The inability to communicate with other makes it even harder for me to express myself and it mold my personality to become more antisocial than I ever was. There’s always this uneasy feeling that linger when someone talk to me and I cannot give them a response and it’s even harder to say something because I was afraid of making a mistake and make a fool out of myself.

She was a wonderful teacher that went through a lot of information within one day. This in return, made it so you really had to study for the quizzes and homework that she would give out during the week. Now during this time I thought that this class was going to go smoothly and that I would just get it down without any troubles. But that wasn’t the case. I had a really hard time with our weekly quizzes and making sure I got a good grade. So when the teacher asked to talk to me after class I started to panic. This is when I realized that this criticism would help me within her class and make it so I was more successful within the learning experience. So when she pulled me aside she gave me some great tips on how to study for the quizzes and some tools that I could use to make sure I did well within the class. So as you can see criticism is a big part of communication and is
Everything for a year had been leading up to this point and here I was in the middle of the happiest place on earth in tears because my friends had abandoned me in the middle of Disney on the senior trip.
The kitchen is my most loved place in the house. I learned numerous skills in my grandma’s kitchen. Skills that supported who I am today and I hadn’t even realized it. I baked and cooked with my grandma every chance I got. During the summer it was difficult to convince her since it was so hot. Learning how to measure out ingredients was generally my job. However, I sometimes would give her the wrong measurement. When I gave her the incorrect measurement I would always apologize. After apologizing so many times my grandma finally said “ Do not apologize, only apologize for things you actually are sorry for.” Fortuitously what she said really encouraged me. In my life there were many things I could have apologized for to make someone else happy. From the lesson my grandma taught me I refuse to apologize for something I don’t feel I should apologize for. My grandma was the one person who taught me to be tough and not to hide my greatness for others to be happy. I owe my confidence to my grandmother and that
During my freshman year of college, I had met one of my best friends, who go by name Jill. (She lives in New Jersey and while I live in Pennsylvania) I found it to be strange that sometimes, it feels like we have grown up with one another but in reality we have only one another for four years and I couldn’t be more thankful. I can remember when we met at school as if it was yesterday.
