I have always wanted to share this story because it is one of the things that I will remember for my whole life. And I’m sure the other person feels the same.
We had a new teacher in my middle school World History class. She was very nice and excited to see us. She told a story about herfighting in a war and brought a picture of him. After about fifof her talking, the class started talking softly to each otherthey were getting bored. Looking, she asked “So, you guys don’t really want to hear any more?” No one dared to say “no” to her loudone kid. He said, “No, not really!”a disrespectful(无礼的) way. Some kids were a littleand thought that it was rather rude.
I felt really bad for this teacher. No one should bein such a disrespectful manner. Therefore, near the end of the class I went up and saidto her for the guy’s rude behavior. I told her I had been listening, and even though I may not really like, I was grateful to her for sharing her story. I asked herabout her father and asked to see the picture of him. We had a very nice, sincere conversation about her father.
The teacher was touched. She thanked me for coming up and actually treating her with the respect(尊敬) that she deserved. I felt at full peace withknowing that I did the right thing and I was super happy that I made her day. Even though I didn’t really care for history, Ilistened, and I hope that others in different situations will do the same. Listening means a lot to the people sharing; it really. If I had just left the class without saying a word, I would have felt veryand would have a constant reminder, probably to this day, that justice(公义) was not served and I had left a person in their time of need.
