Chapter 36: Elder Maya's Decision
“...... Brother Odom threatened me and said that if I didn't explain it clearly, they would come to me after school to practice alone. Thereupon...... Eventually, this will be the case. Adult, I'm really innocent, and I try my best to avoid exposing you to buy adult miscellaneous ......."
"Okay, I see. Will White, stop! "You also mention adult magazines, Will, you deserve to be guilty!
President Maya secretly added a crime to Will in the small notebook!
In the middle of the sound, Lord Maya coughed lightly twice, and in the face of the eyes of the big guys staring at him together, he felt a bit like the supreme treasure who entered the water curtain cave in his sleep. Well, a little nervous!
"First of all, I have to say that what you saw that afternoon was true. I bought two adult magazines at the newsstand! Elder Maya admitted it directly.
"Wow! It's so exciting! It turned out to be true! All the students exclaimed.
Even Will White and Andrew, who pleaded guilty with a bowed face, looked shocked.
Will, in particular, had thought that the Elder would deny it.
After all, compared to the majestic and righteous adults with good grades, he is even more discredited and untrustworthy because he loves to fight, loves to talk big, and can only fool around. Will was even ready to admit that he had lied as soon as he was slapped by the Elder.
President Maya didn't pay attention to the exclamations of her classmates, but looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and her white and beautiful little face revealed a bright sadness. When the students saw this, they immediately fell silent, because they had never seen such an expression on the face of a strong and intelligent elder.
President Maya's voice was as crisp and melodious as a yellow warbler, but with a bit of adult sadness, "My father went to prison when I was 8 years old. Although I was very young at that time, I still remember the hesitation and anxiety I felt when I watched my father being taken away by the police! ”
Hearing this, some of the female classmates felt that their eyes were a little moist and hot, and they also remembered their parents. Some fathers died on the streets, some mothers abandoned their families and ran away, and more often than not, like adults, their fathers or mothers were imprisoned. They all empathize with each other, and they seem to have returned to the days when their parents were taken away in front of the police.
At this time, even the chefs who cook in the cafeteria poke their heads out and listen to the stories of the best students in the school's history.
"Even after all these years, I have not forgotten the days with my father. Although in those days, violence, alcohol and duke were indispensable. But I also remember a lot of good things, like going out on the streets together...... (President Maya meditating) practicing the violin with me (Tom was drinking and watching TV on the side); Sitting on his father's shoulder for the New Year's parade together (Maya wiping sweat: finally remembering another one); Let's go to Pizza Hut for pizza (barely enough to compare, Maya finally breathed a sigh of relief). All in all we had a lot of good times! That's why I visited my father every season every year since he was imprisoned in Dokdo Prison. ”
"But I found out that my father was not doing well in prison (Tom in basketball: Oye, another three-pointer), not only lacked food and clothing, but was also often bullied by prison bullies (Tom who supported his waist: Oh, no, my body has gained 10 pounds, you can play by yourself!) It's so hot, take off this new cardigan first! Hey, little white face, don't look, it's you, kid Norton, come and rub my shoulder. And you, Tommy Kid, go get me a glass of water). ”
"I often go to Chinatown on weekends to work to earn money and buy some clothes and food for my father. Later, I learned from "Introduction to Psychology" that prisoners who have been deprived of sex for a long time will have some mental illness. After consulting my father, I bought him some adult magazines! President Maya continued to look at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, but she continued to feel the reaction of the crowd.
"Maya, you're such a sensible and good boy, you're amazing! You're the best student of New York's generation! Before the students could react, the old principal who came to lunch was the first to stand up and applaud.
This old man, since President Maya came to sponsor from Old Starknala, after the food improved, he often went to the cafeteria to eat.
Immediately, the students all gave a warm round of applause to Elder Maya.
After the applause stopped, President Maya continued and said, "I know that there are many people who have similar births like me. For those of us who were born in Hell's Kitchen, the family conditions were poor and the school environment was poor. It seems that we are destined to be inferior in the future and destined to follow the old path of our fathers. But I'm going to say NO, I'm going to rebel! Knowledge is the opportunity to change all this, and it is the key to a better life in the future. So, let's put an end to Du Pin, stay away from depravity, and study hard! ”
The students began to cheer and applaud again!
mmp! Finally deviated from the topic! Maya will grow the little Maya in her heart and wipe the sweat from her forehead. The best way to end a topic is to start another. After today, the students may remember that Maya was very filial and would bring adult periodicals to her father in prison.
But more importantly, remember that President Maya was a good and inspirational student. Because she didn't just say it, but more importantly, President Maya did it! The achievements of the Mayan Lord, which is as clear as the Statue of Liberty on the island, is the most obvious proof of this!
After a while, the crowd dispersed, and only the old headmaster still pulled President Maya and kept praising him.
The old headmaster really admired Maya's classmates. He has been at the community elementary school for more than 30 years and has been the principal for nearly 20 years. There are so many people I have experienced.
He has seen smart students, he has also seen clever and able to manage students, and he has seen a lot of versatile people. But few people can be like Maya, who is super genius in schoolwork, outstanding in talent, and far superior in emotional intelligence to ordinary adults. Most importantly, Maya seems to have a humanistic concern that is rarely found in Americans.
For example, no one has ever dared to touch the school's ban on Du products. The teacher didn't dare, the student union didn't dare, and the old principal felt helpless and could only let it go. Maya, however, vigorously enforced this ban. In fact, the student is hadu, what does Maya care? She just needs to study hard and skip a grade to another high school early.
Maya, however, strictly fulfilled her responsibilities as the president of the student council, and risked all kinds of reprisals for the sake of her classmates' learning environment, and made every effort to reform the school rules. Not only does she do it herself, but she also leads the student council to do all kinds of things that are beneficial to students. For example, the good food in the canteen is won by a group of students under the leadership of Maya.
It can be said that the atmosphere of the whole school has been changed by a little girl Maya.
Although the old principal didn't make much money, he was not so poor that he went to the cafeteria to eat. The main reason is that the current school atmosphere is so satisfying and touched by him, and he just wants to stay in the school for a while before retiring and leave more memories.
