I would say that I have a couple embarrassing moments that stick out to me. The first one occured in 8th grade English class. My teacher asked me to read from the textbook.. the directions and then the first question. As I read, she stood on the opposite side of the room. She asked my classmates if everyone could hear me. A few kids on the opposite end, shook their head "no." She told me to read again, louder, and I was still too softspoken. she then told me to get up and stand on the top of my chair. I sort of laughed, thinking it was a joke, but then she said "I'm serious." so, I stood up on the top of the chair, having everyone watching me, and finally read it again. She said it was much better, but I could have died. I just wanted that day to end.
The second embarrassing moment lasted for four years in HS. The first two were particularly hard, but I got used to it after that. During lunch time, I had no one to sit with. They had three lunch periods, and during my freshman yr I could not sit with my friends that I ate with during MS, because they had early lunch. SO on my first day, I tried sitting at some random tabl. After a few minutes, the two girls on the end got up and walked away. So I sat alone, barely nibbling on a fry, until finally I trashed it and left. Th next days, I tried sitting at random tables, but I felt like an idiot intruding on groups of friends. I stopped going into the lunch room and di my HW outside of the caf. The next year, however, they made a ridiculous rule tht you could not leave the caf until their were 15 minutes left until the next class. I was so scared, because I knew I had no one to sit with. I ended up hiding in the bathrooms for 15 minutes before I could leave. I would alternate and walk to the bathroom on the other end. It was the most awful thing, I thought. I woul stare at my watch, counting the minutes I had left to go. I just couldn't wait to graduate and just hoped that one day things would be better.
Finally, I always hated class assemblies. We would meet in the auditorium and their would be rows of seats. I would come in and always take an end seat. It was the worst when no one else sat in the rest of the row. Everyone would be lauhing and talkin with their friends, and when you occupy a whole row by yourself, you always stick out like a sore thumb.
