### **High school tiny girl**

Thinking back to when I was in secondary school is both funny and a big sad because of what I went through especially the part where I was the super shy tiny girl in class. I didn't have a big body so I was tagged the tiniest in my class back then, it gave me some security assurance though but I wished to have a bigger body.

Right now, I don't wish for that anymore. I just want to keep looking good for myself and whoever would see that I am looking good indeed... Lol. That's out of the purpose of this post or maybe not.

While I was in school, I almost didn't talk to anyone but we all know how that is impossible considering the fact that you can't get past some questions, mistakes and even head-on-collisions with class mates 😂 you might want to read that again and tell me if you've had any experience like that.

I was a very shy student so obviously, I wasn't the stubborn type. Or maybe I was a little stubborn but very playful and studious too. I had only one friend in class that I was free with whenever I was in the school premise, that was until something happened.

For the first time since I started the school, I got into the list of noise makers in class. I don't know if you know what I mean, I got into a list our class prefect was asked to report any student that disturbed the class. What was I saying that I got caught? I can't remember but I felt really bad and scared.

Before then, the teacher would either flog the defaulters or send them out of the class to pick dirt outside. I didn't want any of that but I thought within me that I would prefer the picking dirt to taking strokes of cane. I dreaded that object a lot hahaha.

The teacher came in right before I could conclude on taking my punishment, she came in looking tired but the first thing she asked for was the list of noise makers from the class prefect... I thought loudly... **I'm doomed!**

Then a bigger shocker came in, I was the first on the list. *Me, Merit,* the most quiet girl in class ranked number one for that day's list of noise makers or *was it a set up by my class prefect?* Now, I'm thinking it was.

#### **My unexpected fun punishment**

**But guess what!** The unexpected happened, I wasn't punished in the usual way others were punished. I was given the teacher's note to copy on the board so others can copy into their note books. She saw it as a punishment for me but I was so happy that was it.

You needed to see me writing so elegantly and fast on the chalkboard just to make sure my teacher didn't change her mind 😂 and I enjoyed doing it. I was so fast that I got strict with how I managed the chalkboard, causing my fellow students to copy from their mates who were fast like me.

#### **Teachers got my back**

And that was the beginning of another new book chapter in my life at high school, I became teachers' favourite. Every teacher except the physics and maths teachers, wanted me to help them get their notes across to my fellow students.

I wasn't made a class prefect but I did a lot of work that seemed like I was one, all thanks to the fun punishment I got. I began to be less shy, more troublesome but never got into trouble again.

Teachers got my back so there was no qualms back in school for me... Lol </div>
