Today, I really learnt a very important lesson. An incident that took place in the canteen in just that 35 minutes has really gave me some important lessons to be learnt.
I was just dismissed from P.E lesson and headed straight to class to change into my uniform. Worried that I would have to join a long queue when going to order my food, I instantly rushed down after changing and headed straight for the canteen. However, it was already crowded over there and every single stall had their queues extended to at least near the tables and benches. "Oh No! I'm too late!" I thought to myself, snapping my fingers.
At that time, I had a craving for chicken rice and would do anything just to get me that fragrant plate of rice with chilli and dark sauce all over the chicken. The queue was really very long and not wanting to get caught in the long queue, I took my chance while a small boy was talking to his friend and stood in front of people. I started whistling, trying to pretend that nothing had happened. All of a sudden, that boy left the queue and I heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to myself," Yes! He's gone! At least now I don't have to worry about him finding out.''
Just when I was about to order my food, I heard a loud, booming voice coming from behind me. It was Mr Chia, the discipline master shouting,"Who's that boy?" Beside him was the boy who was actually queueing behind me! He lifted his finger and pointed directly at me. As what every student will do, I looked to my left and right, hoping that I was not the one he was pointing at. Well, it was me, he was pointing at me.
Mr Chia ordered me to come out of the queue. He told me that it was this boy, this secondary one boy who reported to him about me cutting the queue. He disciplined me strictly and said that I was the one supposed to teach these secondary one boys how to behave but now this boy is the one teaching me how to behave. Due to this and all the other Victorians looking at me, i was utterly mortified. Fortunately, Mr Chia gave me a chance and told me never to do it again.
From this day on , I resolved to practice the four 'don'ts' a Victoria should do. Don't cheat, don't steal, don't bully and don't lie. And this definitely taught me not to cheat!
