“Are we growin’ up, or just goin’ down?”, my history teacher asks. We are learning about how we affect the future “sooooo” much. Mrs.Velerde is very. . . hippie-like. We all adore her, she’s that one cool teacher, whom everybody goes to for advice.
I raise my hand, she points to me smiling,”Yes, Candice?”, “Well,” I began,”In my opinion, we’re goin’ down, AND growin’ up, at the same time.”. She looks at me with a puzzled look.”What I mean, is, that the way some people are acting we might be hurting our future, but then there’s always those special people who are acheiving there dreams, and who are. . .” I think for the word to use
“extraordinary.”, that was the best I could come up with.
I was fuming, it was the only thing I could think of.
I don’t know what I thought was going to come out of her mouth, but it wasn’t anything I was expecting,”Extraordinary,”, she nodds.
“I like it, and You, my Dear,” she said pointing a finger at me. “Are one of those people, the extraordinary ones.”
Huh, extraordinary!
