I walked into the classroom, five minutes late. Five minutes may not seem like much, but in five minutes I could have found a better desk to sit at or at least have had time to introduce myself to a few of my new classmates. Instead, I walked in -not even aware that I was late- to awkwardly stand there, in front of everyone, until the teacher helped me find a desk to sit at. I probably only stood there for a couple of seconds,…
America has several differnet values, but also has a bad habit of stepping on it's own toe.

“I’m terrible with names,” my mentor teacher laughed. It was the first week of school, and I was in the 7th grade language arts classroom in which I would spend the remaining six weeks. “Oh, that’s totally fine. It’s the first week of school, after all!” I attempted to reassure him, although it didn’t really seem like he needed the reassurance. When you see upwards of 140 students in a single day, it takes time to get to know them and to associate names with faces. I understood that, and that…
