My teacher, Ms. Dixon, sent me to sit in the corner for a while to quiet the class. I didn't understand at all. I knew how to operate the record player. And besides, not everyone had steady hands or the know-how to play a record without damaging it.
So why was it, I wondered, that the class got upset when I tried to take over and show Marcia how to handle the record player the right way? I was only trying to help, as I had done many times before. I also couldn't understand why the teacher had sent me to the corner. I was taught to always help my classmates if they didn't understand or know how to do something. If anything, I thought the class was wrong in their judgment of me. I thought the teacher was certainly wrong in siding with them.
When everyone was excused for recess(休息), Ms. Dixon kept me in. I figured that I was in serious trouble, but I still didn't understand how my actions could have caused the teacher to react like this. I had never been in trouble so bad before.
"Why am I here and not at recess?" I asked Ms. Dixon.
The teacher didn't say a word. Instead, she placed a word puzzle in front of me. I guessed Ms. Dixon wanted me to do it, so I got out my pencil and attempted to solve it. This was like no other puzzle I had done before. It was difficult, with words I didn't understand. I raised my hand for help, but Ms. Dixon ignored me. Maybe Ms. Dixon was just keeping me in to protect me from the other students' mean words.
I struggled with the word puzzle until I was about to give up and throw it away. But I was not a quitter, and so I stayed with the challenge. Once I got one word. I was able to get another, and soon I had solved the problem by myself.
