The Sixth Time I Went to the Principal's Office
When I was in the seventh grade,I had problems in behaving. My heart was in the right place,but I couldn't always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once,I even pulled a girl's hair on the school bus to get her attention. As a result,I was repeatedly sent to the office of the principal(校长). Although I hated going there,I did not hate the principal,Mr Ratcliff.
Mr Ratcliff was a kind,elderly man. When he punished me for putting some ants into a classmate's pencil box,my feelings were hurt. I thought so much of him and moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad.
When I got called to Mr Ratcliffs office for the sixth time,I had no idea what I had done. I felt disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office,sat down,and looked at the floor. Then he said the last thing I expected to hear,“Kevin,I've heard you've been behaving really well lately. I want you to know how proud I am of you,and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint(薄荷糖).”
“Really?” I was surprised.
“Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class.”
I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom,I bragged(吹嘘)to my classmates about my turnaround excitedly. I wasn't so bad after all.
Mr Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realise that I was just a kid who had problems with behaviour. He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something right. Mr Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.
