_______________________________________________
It's the 1st day of school, & the newly hired 8th grade Chemistry teacher, Mrs. Sheila Owsinski, is nervous about what to expect. Before class starts, she has to do her hallway monitor duty assignment. The kids are loud, rambunctious & bouncing off the walls because they just had French toast bites topped with pecans, powdered sugar, cinnamon & regular sugar, along with cream cheese & praline sauce, along with grits, eggs, chicken sausage, choice of fruit juice & milk. It was in an upscale, affluent area. Mrs. Sheila didn't know how she was going to take the children being so wild.
Sheila is a recent college grad & a newlywed. 23 years old, petite with female style athletic build & is described as being cute as a button with a heart of gold. She has a kind, generous, giving spirit. Always there to help. In subsequent years, she would always be unbeatable in winning "Teacher Of The Year" award. Every single year. Nobody else was able to get that shine. The kids liked her because she was lenient & not strict. Her leniency influenced the children to be more obedient & behave better. The strict, mean teachers with bad reputations wondered why they didn't really get any respect. She wasn't so quick to issue out detentions & suspensions every time a child sneezed or asked for a restroom break.
The bell rang. The children were running to class. Some teachers yelled, "WALK!" Some of the students panicked because they had a far walk. They tried to beat the tardy bell. A few of them didn't make it. After all, it was the 1st day, so they were given a free pass. Everyone trying to get adjusted & trying to figure out where everything is.
Sheila introduced herself, & one of her students, Charles Freling, who was voted "Class Clown, Most Likely To Succeed, & The Cutest Kid" the previous year, started cracking jokes & interrupting her while she was trying to call roll. She didn't want to seat the children or call roll in alphabetical order. She dared to be different. Charles thought he was going to be the next Dave Chappelle. He was a Caucasian 8th grader inspired by Dave Chappelle. She gently & politely told him that the jokes can be cracked like eggs after roll is called. The class laughed. She tried to show some humor, herself. He tried to force himself to fake burp after every name was called.
Sheila said, "Ok, kids. I'm going to call roll. Sit wherever you want. I believe in letting you all sit wherever you're comfortable. I don't believe in doing assigned seats. Y'all aren't in some prison or military boot camp."
The children cheered. She began calling roll.
She calls out the names, as follows. Each child says, "PRESENT" when names are called, & then Charles does a fake burp. No child was absent that day. She has 27 students. She scrambled the names around, on purpose.
1) Charles Freling
"Present!"
(Charles burps)
2) Tuyet Nguyen
"Present!"
(Charles burps)
3) Jamie Rodriguez
"Present!"
(Charles burps)
4) Sydney Dolivo
5) Connor Maxwell
6) Malcolm Owsinski
Sheila says, "Hey, you have the same last name as me. Are you related to Declan Owsinski? That's my new husband."
Malcolm responds, "Yes. That's my cousin."
She jokingly asked, "Did he used to give you piggy back rides & take you out for ice cream & play tag with you when you were little?"
He nervously giggled & said, "No, but we used to play soccer & swim a lot together. We also used to go camping a lot before my grandparents died."
Then, he said, "Congratulations! I didn't even know he got married. Nice to meet you, my new cousin-in-law."
She continues to call roll.
7) Rhys Ginart
8) Raina Suco
9) Emilio Gonzalez
10) Mohammed Abdullah
11) Patricio Cordova
12) Margot Usoro
13) Gavin Zeringue
14) Paige Babington
15) Lila Elkins
16) Savannah Pegany
17) Dorothy Rugger
18) Avery Hulls
19) Lena Concord
20) Kevin Hunter
21) Grayling Lafourche
22) Madison Ardolf
23) Clyborne Chorro
Charles exclaimed, "Lean like a churro!" & burped.
Then the class laughed.
Paige said, "No, it's 'Lean like a cholo'!"
Charles asked her, "Do I look like spell check to you?"
Sheila said, "Come on now! I only have 4 more to go."
24) Eloise Javernick
25) Quincy Hinsen
26) Tyler Thomas
27) Lucas Miles
Because of Charles constantly interrupting roll call, unfortunately, it took up the entire 50 minutes, when everything could've taken maybe 4 minutes. Mrs. Owsinski gave everyone a banana & then sent them on their merry way to their next class period.
