All about 4A

Here I go again, talking about my class once more. My class can be really annoying sometimes. Well, some of them, not all of them. But not too deep down, they're really good kids. I think that they're quite united, and there is no one who is an outcast in the class.

When the new students came in the second semester, I was quite impressed to see how quickly the class tried to make them feel at home. For example, when a new boy arrived, as I was talking to him, some of the class quickly formed a group around him to get to know him better, and to include him in their conversations. It was really heartwarming for me to see this.

Even with the stupid jabañero peppers. Someone brought the peppers and the whole class ended up tricking students from other classes - and even some teachers - into eating them. (Thankfully, I had heard about them before and I did not even attempt to touch them.)

And when the new girl was sort of harassed by a boy from another class, she saved the MSN conversation and the WHOLE class read the conversation. OK, that was partly my doing too; I displayed the conversation on the projector using my laptop. Perhaps not the whole class was interested, but a huge majority of them were. And some of them got pretty riled up about how the girl was (sort of) harassed.

And with the yearbook page in discussion, some of them were coming up with ideas on the pictures to take. Many of them were heavily involved in the technical bit; i.e. rigging up the camera from overhead to take a bird's eye view picture. We haven't taken the photo yet, but we've done a test run and it seems to be working to plan. It's incredible how seriously they're taking this, to take just one picture. They've got measurements and a drawn plan and stuff.

My point is, some classes have outcasts. Some classes have segregated cliques. Some classes can't stand the sight of their own classes. My class isn't perfect. We still have cliques, we didn't win the Paramount Championship, we made losses trying to sell liquid nitrogen ice-cream. But I'm so proud of them, every single one of them. I hold no credit to their achievements or their unity. I'm just glad to be with them this year.

I'm so going to miss them.
