Imagine this: you’re sitting in class, and it’s your worst subject. Unfortunately, you have to put more into it just to get by with a “C,” but it looks like you won’t even get that because of one distraction.
While in class, you began to hear whispers. At first it seems unrecognizable, but soon the sounds become words, the words become sentences, and the sentences become a story. A story you could care less about.
Soon the professor’s lecture becomes silent. You see his mouth moving but no sound.
All you hear is how last night’s beer pong game turned into a morning of vomiting before coming to class. You even become nauseated just thinking about this person hunched over a toilet blowing chunks from all the alcohol the night before.
The story keeps going on and on. What do you do?
A.) You can wait until the class is over and approach him.
B.) Advise your professor about the situation.
C.) Turn around and smack him.
D.) Do nothing, and let the problem continue.
Most of us all do the last choice…nothing. How many of you pay tuition out of pocket? How many have loans? Who is here to learn so they won’t make minimum wage for the rest of their lives?
May I suggest that you stand up for yourself and those around you? I’m pretty sure you’re not the only one who is getting annoyed.
I recommend all of the choices above hitting someone.
If your professor doesn’t care about the situation, file numerous complaints to the department.
You are here to learn and succeed. A noisy student or a lazy professor should not stop you from earning your degree.
Remember this quote and don’t let someone say it’s not true: “One person can make a difference.”
