Personal Narrative: The Classroom
“I won, I won!” I screeched in excitement, I rushed to the office.
“Billy, Johnson won the school contest he is now allowed to be a teacher for a day”
Principal Higgins ruggedly yelled over the speakers. “Who am I teaching for?” I asked politely.

Suddenly, Principle Higgins turned around and replied back “You are going to be filling in for Mrs. lewis today!”.

Principle Higgins slowly guides me to Mrs. Lewis's classroom. I come in the classroom noticing everyone’s staring at me, Principle Higgins says with a booming voice ”6th graders today you're going to being taught by Mr. Johnson!”, I see principle higgins walking out of the classroom as if he wasn’t leaving to someone else's job.

They greet me with a slight silence, I start to look around to see if they have a certain schedule, I see they have math on the board, i glanced slightly at the computer seeing a math assignment shining off the screen. I attempt to press print, i did not notice how much paper is going to be printed. It began to spit out millions of papers. Everyone was yelling and screaming, creating chaos. I hear the door slowly creak open , seeing Mrs. Lewis poke her head in through the doorway ”everything ok”.

After she took attendance, she addressed that she had taken some privileges away from the students because the students did not picked up their mess after having centers and would not follow instructions that the teacher gave.

    Miss Caroline has a strict rule of her classroom. She teaches at a specific and very slow pace to accompany the members of the class who had been in the first grade for many years without likelihood of passing. She takes for granted the attention span and interests of her class from the very beginning. She reads a story about cats which “has the class wriggling like a bucketful of Catawba worms,” (16).…

    The school wasn’t what I was expecting, with its high arches and the words "Colgan High" in gold." I skated to the reception desk, and gave them my name. “Cammie Solomon.” I was told to use my real name, which breaks around 10 rules. It felt unnatural, strange. The blonde lady at reception looked me up and down. I stared her in the eye. She wordlessly handed me my timetable, and I looked for my first subject. Home room. Nodding my thanks, I made my way down the long corridor in search of my classroom.…
