Narrative Essay
I am in a fantastic boss, I'm such a fantastic boss that somebody once bought me a coffee mug that says "world's best boss". Although the person who bought that for me was myself, deep down I know that I am the world's best boss. A boss is a leader and just as all leaders make mistakes I have as well. Hitler should have never invaded Russia, the mayor of that town in Footloose should never have outlawed dancing, and I should have never promised a group of Third graders to pay for their college if they graduated Highschool. I will admit I have made some empty promises in my life but this one by far was the most generous.
You can’t avoid some things forever, but you can ignore a phone

I started out by asking "Has anybody ever done something stupid?" Obviously everyone has and that will make things much easier when I eventually had to tell them the news that we were there to deliver. After nods of approval my supposed saving grace came when a bell rang signifying the end of class. Alas, I had apparently used up all of my luck already because the class I was speaking to was in a double period. I later found out the meaning was that class had the time allotment of two separate classes. At this point I was stalling and there was one person in the class that I did not recognize so I asked who he was. His name was Isaiah and he was there in support of his older sister who is one of the ones promised a free college tuition. With a chuckle I let him know that “I will not be paying for his college tuition.” Which provided a chuckle in the class and me an incredibly convenient segway to mention that “I would not be paying for any ones’ college tuition, and I’m so so sorry.” To my complete astonishment the entire class erupted into chatter and angry statements all directed toward me. No matter how many times I was able to say that I was sorry nobody seemed to understand how deeply my regret went. I thought by this age I would be a millionaire, but sadly I was only a hundredaire. Although I couldn't pay for their college tuition I had done something that was nearly as great. Every student that goes to college and needs a laptop. This is one of the largest financial expenses and I was proud to present each and every student in that class with the batteries to run the laptops that they will need for their classes. That was not received well even after they found out that they were lithium

    I never intended to be in charge of anybody. In fact, the thought had never even crossed my mind. I had grown too used to taking orders to be bothered with the idea.

    About a week ago my Rhetoric and Argumentation class was having in class debated where individual students walk to the front of the class one at a time to fight for their claim. One particular student walked up from the back of the class to give his view. As he walked towards the front more and more students realized this classmate had toilet paper tucked into his waist belt hanging down his rear. before he had the chance to turn around to face the class I quickly glanced around the classroom and saw almost all the class laughing to themselves and some even tapping their friends next to them and pointing it out.

    I was drowning out the world with the music playing through my phone, twirling the headphone cord around my finger. My hand brushed across the paper as I erased some pencil markings. I observed the text on the brightly lit screen of my chromebook, searching for the answers to the questions on my homework. I stared at the screen with a look of confusion on my face. Little did I know that the next few moments would put my hard work to some use.…

    I had decided ahead of time the best thing I could do is get to the school early so I could navigate to my first hour with ease. Whoever started telling people to wish upon stars must like to see the world burn, because I did not arrive anywhere close to being considered early. I ended up walking through the threshold of my first hour class just as the ringing bells resounded throughout the halls. As it turns out, I was given a chemistry test, discovered that I was trapped in a freshman class, and was called down into the media center to get my photo ID while the rest of my fourth hour class was dismissed for lunch, causing me to miss lunch. And despite all of those negative events impacting my first day, I did not think the end results of my first day were bad at…

    However, what I didn’t notice was that there are students who despised “new kid” trying to get familiar with teachers. This is where one group of students sitting at the back end of class tried to poach me on any mistake I could make. I eventually did say something stupid in my Bible study class since it was very new subject. The teacher didn’t seem to mind, but this group of students immediately took the opportunity to insult me and my previous school by saying “Is this the nonsense they taught you in your dumb school?” I didn’t have anything to reject that…
