School can be tough at times, as a high schooler I struggle with a lot of things.
I’m what they consider a nerd. It’s not my fault that I love learning about history. There is so much to learn and grow from our past experiences and I want to know it all. Maybe someday I’ll be a history teacher. Mr. Stevenson was the history teacher and he was a great guy in general. He always smiled, greeted everyone in the morning and had a passion for history. He is the type of person that I look up to. The only downside is that he loved keeping the air conditioning on during class. Some of the students enjoyed the cool air but I found it uncomfortable and a bit distracting because I’m more focused on trying to stay warm than the lesson that Mr. Stevenson is teaching. I wanted to say something about my discomfort but I didn’t want to create a scene. Well, that’s how I felt if I did talk to Mr. Stevenson about the thermostat settings. After a few days of the air conditioning, I couldn’t take it anymore. After class, I asked to speak to him and another great thing about Mr. Stevenson is that he is very open to communication. I asked him if he didn’t mind decreasing the amount of air conditioning in his classroom because I can’t focus 100%. He smiled and said, “that’s no problem at all, I want the best for my students.” The next day I came into class and as soon as he saw me enter, he walked up to the dial thermostat and changed the settings and gave me a thumbs up.
