here comes trouble...
As a mom, I always see to it that my kids are disciplined and properly taken care of so they would grow to be well-mannered & well-behaved kids.
When my first-born Kyle graduated from KinderGarten & Prep 3 years ago, I was a beaming mom because Kyle got the Most Behaved Student Citation (among other awards). Before, during his first few days at school, I thought he would be hard-headed and might bully his classmates or worse, cause trouble in his class. What a surprised he turned out to be, when his teachers updated me with his attitude & grades. They said, he was the most quiet pupil in the class, he preferred to be alone and stood only when asked to answer questions.
My Oh My.. I realized, Kyle did not inherit my genes when it comes to GMRC (Good Manners & Right Conduct). Hehehe.. I take it he got his silent demeanor from his dad. He would never have acquired mine!
You might be asking why & how this could be?
Well, let me tell you, I was a bully during my elementary days, I caused trouble in high school and I've been reprimanded a couple of times in College. Heck, I was even given due process - investigations when I was already working in AOL (during my single & free days!)
Hard to believe? Nah... I also wondered why. It just seemed that trouble always finds me. Let me tell you about my misdemeanors.
during the first few months on First Grade (Grade I) -
One night, I wasn't able to review my notes & study well because I has been watching cartoons on TV. The next day, I caught myself trembling when my teacher, Mrs. Caridad Rivera announced about a surprise test In English. What went to my mind was I'd surely fail the test.
So what I did next was the unthinkable! I got my English notebook from my bag and put it under the desk, under my Reading Comprehension Book. When the exams started, I took a peak at my notebook whenever I didn't know the answer to the questions.
Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen, I CHEATED! First time ever, I cheated on class! And the worst part is, I GOT CAUGHT! Damn! My Teacher was really disappointed in me, and we took the situation to the Guidance Counselor. There I was reprimanded and was expected never to cheat again.
Oh well, I didn't want to ruin my reputation at school, so I never ever cheated again. I was actually surprised when I got recognized with Honors (First Honors, actually) during the Closing Exercises. My mom was beaming!
Onward to my other mischief, I have already told you about my bullying days on my last post - I was once a Bully too, and I'm not proud of it..
And oh, before I forget, I also caused "quarrels" between my classmates on my Third Grade, I refused to seat in and stay on another classroom ( and section) when our classroom teacher took an emergency leave for a day. I hated those in Section 2 that's why I didn't leave our classroom when we were asked to. Of course, I was again sent to the Principal's Office due to subordination.
Need I say more?
For my high school misadventures with my teachers & Principal's Office (again), I'd have to blog about it on another day. My kids are already asking me to stop typing because they would like to play Bookworm Adventures.
