New Experience

So yesterday I had a meeting at this public school and although I've never attended a public school before I have nothing against them.....BUT I had the shock of my life when I saw first hand the things that went on.
First of all you have to be screened by a security guard who obviously saw that I posed no threat and offered to let me in since I told him I was on official newspaper business-LOL

So I'm in the school and already its like packed with children and I'm going each one of these classes are about the population of my entire high school (not really) so already the small private school thing is getting to me...Anyway I went to the office and this "ghetto" girl was like "Hey you boy, where you get that Starbucks from? You don't go to this school aye", Taking a moment to analyze her words and convert it into its proper form I answer "No, I do not attend this school" (And obviously if I'm drink a venti Passion Tea with Extra Classic I got it from Starbucks).

So while waiting on an Administrator or any official to approach me this lady dressed in a shocking Citrus aurantifolia or Key Lime gave me a very nefarious look and said "Yes", Thinking she can't be talking to me I reply "Hi, I came for the newspaper" Luckily the Chief editor was standing behind her and went "He's with me". Relived that she doesn't have to take her "precious" time and assist me with anything she went on to deal with a young lady who was sent out of class for some reason...

So were out of the office now and I'm standing adjacent to room 25 which is on the second level. As I stand there I'm looking down on a garden of green filled with palms and all sorts of green plants. In the corner of the garden was this rubbish container will with the students food remains from there first break prior to my arrival. At this point thoughts go through my head about someone throwing me over the railing and into the container...then the bell rings. Its Lunch time or should I say its a STAMPEDE tons of children separated into many groups mostly of there own gender walk the halls with all eyes on me. The girls think "Whats his name" "Whats his number" -I assume while its obviously they guys are looking to rob and fight. Standing still amids it all sipping the remainder of my Passion tea, biting the straw...

The point is I've never been around so many students and because I know of there (not to stereotype or anything) but these students have been tagged as potential murders and its a shocking reality to a some percentage of them. AND I'M AMONGST THEM- A foreigner (Remember the song "Your as cold as ice" By The Foreigner)someone for them to make an example of... But I prayed and I left unharmed yahhh :)
I guess thats the difference in coming from a private school where its safe:)
