I DOn’t have a good title lol

The feeling of shame. It hurts everyone weather we like it or not.

“I hope he dies tommorow” I thought as the teacher calls me over to the side. I was paying attention to the ego-filled boiler plate who was conducting a lesson of past-participles when the kid in front of me turns around with a look signalling trouble. Its that one recognizable look everyone knows leads to a bad time.

“Stop!” i screamed! The class turned to me as if they were forced to. The teacher walked over and asked (in the most obnoxious sarcastic manner imaginable), “What happened that requires me to stop teaching?” I said in response, “Shree scratched my computer with a pin.” As if my answer didn’t carry the onus of meaning, she pulled me outside for a “talk”. Cerca 5 minutes later, she brought me inside along with a detention slip visible to the entire class. At the end of the day, I was left with a tarnished record, shun in a bad light, and a badly scratched chromebook.

This experience taught me something. Bias is inevitable. Everyone has it. But, making an effort to relize our own subconscious bias is what makes us noble.
