True Friends

Today was such a spectacular day for me. Of  course not due to the fresh referral I gained as well as my brother, but because it was another day of understanding and beauty within life.  It all started when my chemistry teacher chose to address a situation from the previous day publicly and chose to do it in a harsh way. My temperature was rising as I grinded my teeth to keep from lashing out on her, but finally stood up for myself. I calming handled the situation, while she continued to snap at me and raise her decibels higher and higher until she was screaming at me.  I attempted to even raise my hand to speak but she would not accept anything I was trying to say. Finally she believed I had " disrespected her enough," and sent me out. Right then my brother stood up and requested he would be sent to. I looked around at my classmates and they looked disgusted; just completely drained of any ounce of respect that they once had for her. Meanwhile when I was in the office talking over my side of the story to administration, my class was fighting the battle for me. A couple people in particular, Katelyn, Annie, and Danielle, further argued out how they believed it was an unfair thing for the teacher to do. A debate was basically taking place after what the teacher had just started.. 32 against 1. After the bell rang I went back to see what had happened within the class. Sooner than I could walk a few steps they all shouted ," Danielle!" and attacked me with hugs. That moment will be one that I will never forget in my life. There was so much love and passion that people put out to defend me and stand in the gap between who truly was right and wrong. I felt so strong and  proud that I didn't let a referral come in the way of me attempting to get my voice across, and then others finishing where I left off.  The love is overflowing in my class and I gained a new sense of confidence of who is really there for me. The overwhelming strength our class as a whole today worked towards what truly is the just thing and where there was something wrong. Just as I did, they made sure their ideas and opinions were heard; which there is nothing wrong with that. I love my chemistry class!
