The Hornet Issue
It was after PE then. Physical Education was never boring with her around.
She taught us many things. One of the most memorable thing she taught us was how to squat. She succeeded because many of us know how to squat but not me. Till now, I still have not mastered the proper way of squatting.
After lesson, we all lined up in two straight lines. Each pair consist of one boy and one girl. As she lead us back to class, the girls behind started to scream.
They started to shout. They started to run around as if they had red hot heels on. They pranced around as if they had fleas on their body.
"Hornet! Hornet! Help me! Save my life! I am so going to die!"
The girls just uttered gibberish. Nobody understood them.
However, it was evident that a black hornet was flying around. It was flying from one girl to another. The big guy in our class stood there and laughed at the girls. No, mock is a better word to use.
She turned around. She saw the hornet and said, "It's just a hornet! Forget about it, let's go."
The girls continued to run around. She got irritated and walked to the back. The hornet ended up dead in the end. She lead us back to class and we continued our lesson, with that incident put behind our mind. It did not fade off though, everyone remembered it.
REFLECTIONS: She did not panic when she saw the hornet. She remained calm all throughout. Being a teacher, a role model, she remained calm and lead us from one hurdle to another. This hornet was just one hurdle which we had o jump past. She held our hands and guided us through it with no sweat at all.
