loud and obnoxious

Nov 03, 2006 11:53

when i was in grammar school, people would tell me i have a big mouth. not the kind that talks too much about things i shouldn't... the kind that is physically big and loud. i didn't think my mouth was that big, i just knew how to project my voice so people could hear me when i spoke. i didn't speak that often out loud. i hate talking in front of people actually. and in many ways i hate talking TO people because i never feel like i get my point across. my roommate called me a nag last night. i admit it, i was DEFINITELY being a nag.

but somehow in someway i ended up wanting to be a teacher. i think it is like stutterers who go into acting. i stand in front of my students three days a week and teach them as many essential things that can help them get the flip out of my class. i NEVER yell out them. i know they have had HORRIBLE teachers in the past and i have to take it step by step with them.

today though, i had to become a seventh grade little girl who nags people.

i let them have it. i went off on them because most of them failed a quiz that could NOT have been any easier. some of the sentences were STRAIGHT out of the book. if they had studied, heck if they had just paid attention in class, they should have at LEAST made a 70. i was so made i gave them a take home quiz. what am i doing? how am i supposed to help them?
