Mr. Hadley was my 6th grade teacher. I was a tall thin girl weighing barely a hundred pounds. I ended up taking a lot of
36 especially from the boys, because of my appearance. I became an extremely
37 young lady.
One day
38 in the 6th grade class was told by Mr. Hadley that we would be
39 to stand up in front of the class and read the
40 that we had completed.
When my turn came, I
41 to stand up in front of all those students and
42 to their tricks. Mr. Hadley came over to me and again
43 me to read my report. I gave it back to him. He walked to the front of the
44 and said, "Yvonne has a very good report here and I think everyone
45 to hear her read it. If I hear anyone making
46 noises or making fun of her in any way, I will let you fail right here and now. Understood?"
Mr. Hadley walked back to me and
47 me the paper, asking me to go to the front of the class. I walked to the front of the class on legs
48 were shaking and I felt a(n)
49 in my chest. Everyone were all quiet, including those boys. I stood there trying to gain
50 .
Mr. Hadley walked over to me putting his arm around me, "You can do it. I have
51 in you!" His words helped calm me. I
52 the report and instead of the kids laughing at me and
53 me, they all stood up and clapped their hands.
From that day on the kids never made fun of me again and some
54 made friends with me. I continued to be quite shy all through school
55 from that day on I knew if I had to stand up in front of class again. I could do it.
