I grew to be a tall girl but I tried to be as ordinary as possible.At school,I always chose a seat in the back of the room,and never raised my hand in class.When I was 16,I went to my new school.And I liked the English teacher.In my last year in high school,however,we were told that a new English teacher,Oliver Bascom,was going to teach us.
Oliver Bascom! The girls laughed as we imagined a short and bald(秃头的) man.The situation was not funny,because this man would teach us for the whole year.Surprisingly,after we opened the door,there in front of the blackboard,we saw a young and handsome man!
What followed was chaos,seventeen?year?old girls flying to get to seats in the front of the room.And I managed to get a front and center desk.
I really wanted to make a good impression on my new teacher,but I usually kept quiet.The day that directions were given for our first major writing assignment,I arrived late to class.A friend later gave me the guidelines and I thought I understood them.I worked the whole weekend on the essay and waited nervously for Mr Bascom’s evaluation.
After three days,he arrived in class holding the corrected papers.“I’ve chosen the ten best essays for class discussion.” he said.
Twenty minutes later,my heart sank when he got to the last essay,and I didn’t hear my name.
“These are all great essays,” Mr Bascom continued.“However,I am now going to read you the most successful of all...” We were all surprised as I was the author of this unusual work.A different girl walked out of the classroom that day.I knew that I had a new set of standards to live up to and that anything was possible in the future.Finally,I raised my head.
