![]() She brings in fresh green beans and one day she made me try them raw, then cooked. Since I started living at my grandma’s – she has a garden and she’s out there planting and watering every day. But maybe I didn’t like them because they came from a can. The French people like snails for dinner, but not me. No one asked me why I didn’t like them, but the truth is that I thought they were slimy, like snails. When my mom gave them to me I would spit them in the toilet. When I was little I didn’t like green beans. But one thing hasn’t changed, I still love ducks.īy: Thureaux Natupani-Rohrman, Age 13, USAĭescription: A young Native boy describes why he used to hate green beans but likes them now. Sometimes, I just want to run away from home because these ducks have become more than an issue. I haven’t heard much from him since then, but that’s to be expected. Yeah, one of the ducks got territorial and took a chunk out of the cat’s tail. I suppose I could pay for my friend’s vet bill. I wish I could do something about it, but these ducks are in charge now. He’s too afraid to come to my house, and my neighbors have a pit bull! I have to go all the way down to the end of the street to get my mail, and even then I get an earful from him! It’s so annoying. The neighbors constantly talk my ear off about the ducks! “I find their droppings in my yard!” Or, “They’re too noisy at night!” I GET IT, BUT I CAN’T STOP THEM SUSAN! And then there’s the mailman. They pretty much run my house, WHICH I PAY RENT FOR! They’ve also caused a few disturbances with my neighbors, the poor mailman, and my best friend’s cat. What happens when you have too many ducks? I’ll tell you what happens. You never know what’s going on with them after the bell rings.ĭescription: Too many ducks can be troublesome. So don’t judge the boy in the front of the class. ![]() I know what it’s like to be scared of the eyes, but I also know what it’s like to need the eyes on you to please everyone. I used to be the class clown! But I also knew the sad girl in the corner, with no friends to boost her up until she got home and got to be herself. I knew the boy in the front of the class and the girl in the corner. She can mess around and not worry about the popular life the boy has. When she gets to be alone, she has freedom. The girl in the corner? She changes for the better. He doesn’t laugh or joke or mess around because he doesn’t have friends there to build him up. But once you take away the friends, the loud noise and laughter, and go home, what happens to them? The boy in the front of the class is all alone now. ![]() ![]() The girl in the corner would stay silent, never saying a word, wishing she was somewhere quiet. The boy in the front of the class would always laugh and joke with his friends, ignoring how much he bothered others around him. I may not be much for storytelling, but I know this one very well. Have you ever seen someone sitting alone, doing nothing? Just a blank mind, completely zoned out from everyone else? Or, have you seen someone so self-absorbed that the only thing they care about is themself? I want you to think about the parallels between the boy in the front of the class and the girl in the corner.
