Story Crops #3
This story has caught my attention due to the fact that Roger, the student, dropped out on his Senior year. Me begin a Senior and almost finished with the year was shocked by the small description that was under the title. "It's his last year..how can he drop out there?" is what circled my mind after reading such thing, I find it very shocking and unbelievable when I hear about someone from somewhere dropping out on their Senior year because they're so close of finishing, and going though Kindergraden-11th grade to just stop all the work you have been doing for probably 12 years.
I haven't noticed the edits, due to the fact that they still kept the questions in, so that interview really flowed well, and was easy to follow since it did not jump around. Hearing more about what happened after he had dropped out made me shake my head because it's true in life how some teens just work for 12 years and decides to end all their hard work to work somewhere like a loading dock, or something else around that. It's actually sad to be honest, because I just can't understand what goes through their minds when they make that choice.
This was funny to me, because my mom did somewhat the same thing when she was young, getting in trouble by her actions. While this was playing, I was imagining my mother's childhood, which made me laugh a bit more. I have also found this even interesting because Berryl is now a Judge, so must people see Judges and strict people who probably grew up in a duel childhood with a lot of rules set on them; but Berryl proved that wrong. My childhood wasn't as crazy has hers, I was actually more afraid to get in trouble, because I always felt that if I were to get in trouble once, then I would flunk. It was enjoyable to listen about how someone else acted in school and still turned out to be a judge. This shows that you can always turn your life around even if it's at an early age.
Though still having the idea that school is not the place to try out your comedy act, it still was funny to hear about how even when the teacher tried to get her to sit down, she still continued on because she noted that "She was on a roll, and had the kids on the palm of her hands" Maybe this is what all class clowns try to accomplish before getting in trouble, wanting to get that chance to "control" the kids before being sent away. I sometimes think about what is the joy in being a class clown when some kid "tries" to be funny and faces the chance of possbily getting in trouble. Guess I know now
