It all starts today, today is the day
I teach 11th grade for the first time. The
Day it all begins where I began my tea-
cher career. I felt so excited to finally
Share my knowledge of skill building.
I teach a wired subject it's more like
Health and mind and things like that.
Nothing fancy just not the usual. My mom always wanted me to be a teacher
but I always thought I was to much of a
man to be teaching snobby kids, but turns out when I went to grad school
To get my masters I really like it.
Speaking of snobby kids, this kid wasn't so darn snobby. Pretty cute.
wait, santo your a teacher not a pedofile your not ok? Now that I got
That cleared out my brain I was ready
To start. " Um, good morning everyone.
I am Mr.August and I am your skill building teacher. Some of you may be
wondering what is skill building? Well
It's kind of better as to communication
Skills and such things teeenagers need
To use. Now I'm not embarrassed to admit that I'm only 24, so trust me I know every and anything your going through. Well today won't really be a
Lesson it will just be a day to reflect and write down things you guys want
to talk about and thing a you think I should address"
I got some paper from my desk and passed it out to everyone. " Write what you think and what you would like to talk about about."
I sat at my desk and examined the room. I forgot to take role.
" When I say your name just say something so I know that you are here"
" Daveon? Here. Gehno? Here. Sha'mal???? Sup! Ta'kae?? It's Ta-Kia.
Sorry um Tanna? Here. Daquan? Here"
Eventually I was done. " Anyone's name I did not call?" I saw a hand go up in the back. " Jacob!.. My name is Jacob, Perez" I gave a smile and checked him off. I didn't see his name the first time. " Thanks I got you."
Soon everyone was done and I collected the paper and put them in a bucket.
" Ok, so does anyone have any questions?"
I saw Jacob raise his hand. " Yes?"
" Why'd you become a teacher?"
" Well mainly cause my mom wanted me to, of course I protested but then I went to grad school and I liked it."
I got asked questions like, what are we gonna do this year and simple things like that. I enjoyed today's class, I just have to know the students more.
The bell rung and I said bye to every
one and told everyone we would talk
tomorrow and I got a special goodbye
from Jacob. " See you tomorrow "
I say back and waited for my next class to come in.
Today was a good day and I enjoyed it.
11th graders aren't so bad. People make
Them seem like hell. Maybe cause it's my first day, they are probably living hell but are giving me a break.
Ok wow.
Well i needed something to eat.
It was a food kart, I happen to see one
of my students Jacob. " Dammit. I need another dollar." I looked in my pockets and I happened to have a 5 dollar in my pocket. " Uh here you go Jacob."
He turned around and smiled, taking the money he thanked me and got his food. I just ordered a burger and fries and got a bottled Pepsi. We happened to sit at a bench and talk. " So, Mr.August how does it feel to almost be our age and be a teacher? Like its so
weird."
" Well how is it wired."
" Because, your our age and your teaching us."
" Well that means that nothing is impossible.
We chatted and ate, just a conversation. A normal one. I talked about where I went to collage and stuff.
" Well Mr.August I gotta go, moms waiting on me. I'll see you later? I mean no sorry tomorrow. Just in used to saying-"
" It's ok Jacob." I kind of laughed and
Said bye as he went to the bus stop and I got in my car and drove home.
