Triumph

Okay, so we are ending near the end of the school year. Not much has happened up until now. Just kidding. I am much better person now, minus the fact that me and Heather are no longer friends. So guess what I did! I wrote on the bathroom stall Guys to Stay Away From: Andy Evans, and people responded! I feel like a different person. One day, he attacked me in my abandoned janitor closet, but I fought back and won, and Nicole brought the whole lacrosse team to my aid.

Overall, I am so happy that I spoke up about Andy Evens (IT) raping me. It was very hard to do so, but now I feel like a different person with a huge weight of my shoulders.

My Hero

So Mr. Neck is talking about debating about foreigners and how his son did not get the job he wanted because of an immigrant. And all of a sudden, a kid is challenging him. I named him Brave Kid. Brave Kid: "Maybe your son didn't get the job because he's not good enough. Or he's lazy. Or the other guy was better than him, no matter what his skin color. I think the white people who have been here for two hundred years are the ones pulling down the country. They don't know how to work-they've made it too easy." Mr. Neck is not happy by this. Now all of a sudden, David Pertrakis, my lab partner, stands up. David never gets in trouble.
Mr. Neck: "Mr. Pertrakis, take your seat."
David: "If the class is debating, then each student has the right to say what's on his mind." He was standing up for Brave Kid.
Mr. Neck: "I decide who talks in here."
David: "You opened a debate. You can't close it just because its not going your way."
Mr. Neck: "Watch me. Take your seat, Mr. Pertrakis."
They then went on for a couple more minutes. I decided that David is like my role model. I have never heard such greatness put towards a teacher.
