Back at school, we had these assemblies every Friday that just seemed to go on and on. By the end of them, the only thing one could think about was getting out of there. One time I was so restless when it finished that I couldn't wait for everyone around me to walk out, so I just climbed over the chairs. My homeroom teacher called out to me, but I just ignored her and bolted. That day, I learnt that one should never try to run from a sports teacher. Long story short, I had to write this one-page essay as punishment. Ironically, it might be one of the best things I ever wrote at school.
