Socializing and bus behavior

I was what you could call a social animal. I loved and got along with everyone, had lots of friends. I was a chatty little girl. This got me in trouble on more than one occasion---lots more actually. I was always getting caught talking in class--spent a lot of time standing in the corner. I asked my teacher one time "how am I suppose to learn anything when I'm always standing in the corner". She did not think that was funny or cute in any way. She did let me know in no uncertain terms that I couldn't learn if I was chatting all the time either.

I got in a lot of trouble from my behavior on the bus. The older girls that rode the bus were made bus monitors---or tattle talers! We were suppose to stay in our seat and talk quietly. I just couldn't figure out how I was suppose to do that when my friends that I wanted to talk with were scattered all over the bus. I had to get up if I wanted to tell them something. I spent a lot of time out in the hallway over this one. Again,I ask, how am I suppose to learn anything out in the hallway? lol

  1. I forgot to say that they would contact my mom about the bus behavior and then I would be in trouble again when I got home. Have to sit in that before mentioned chair! What is a social butterfly to do? You'd think I would have learned, I finally did but it took awhile.
