We have all had embarrassing moments that make us think, “Did that really happen?” I tend to have a lot of those moments, especially when I was in tenth grade and I fell asleep in my English class while my teacher was being observed my the superintendent.
I had English right after lunch, and I was always tired in that class. However, this one day seemed to be really bad. We were learning Macbeth, which was boring, and I feel my eyes getting heavy. I tried to fight falling asleep, but I lost the battle. I closed my eyes and my head fell on the desk. The next thing I remember was feeling a kick from my teacher making me get up. At that point I jumped up from my chair and the whole class was looking at me, and my teacher smirking asked, “if something was wrong?” I came up with a quick answer and I asked if I could go to the bathroom.
While I left the room, I kept thinking, “Did that just happen?” I felt so embarrassed, even though the students in the class forgot about that experience my English teacher still remembered it, even two years later when she wrote in my yearbook “good luck next year…try to stay awake during class.”
