Introduction
As a 10-year-old preschool student, I never thought I would have to witness something so horrible in my English class. A fellow classmate, the English class representative, was being forced to copy a video by our teacher. But things quickly took a turn for the worse when the teacher started pushing him onto the desk, making him copy the video in a very uncomfortable position.
The English Class Representative
The English class representative was always a cheerful and helpful student. But seeing him being bullied by our teacher was heart-wrenching. We all knew that our teacher had a reputation for being strict and sometimes downright mean, but we never expected him to treat a student in this way. We were all too scared to speak up, so we just watched in silence.
The Consequences of Bullying
Bullying can have long-lasting effects on a child's mental health. It can lead to anxiety, depression, and even suicide. In the case of the English class representative, he became withdrawn and scared. He stopped participating in class and his grades started to suffer. It was clear that the bullying had taken a toll on him.
The Importance of Speaking Up
As children, we may not have the power to stop bullying on our own, but we can speak up and ask for help from trusted adults. In this case, we should have gone to the principal or our parents to report the incident. By speaking up, we can help protect ourselves and our classmates from such abuse and prevent it from happening again.
Putting Kun in Europress
As a preschooler, I was fascinated by my dad's DIY project of putting in a new cabinet system called Europress. I remember watching him carefully measure each piece and putting them together with precision. But one day, I saw him putting a Kun inside the cabinet. I was confused about why he would do that, so I asked him about it.
What is a Kun?
I learned that a Kun is a type of evil spirit or ghost in Chinese mythology. Some believe that putting a Kun inside a cabinet or house can ward off other evil spirits. I was both fascinated and scared by this concept. But my dad reassured me that it was just a superstition and that he was doing it for fun.
My Dad vs. My Husband
As an adult, I noticed that my dad was twice the age of my husband. This made me wonder what to call my husband in relation to my dad. After some research, I found that there are different options depending on cultural traditions and personal preferences. Some examples include son-in-law or partner. Ultimately, I realized that what matters most is the love and respect my husband and I share, regardless of the title or label we give to our relationship.
Conclusion
As a child and now an adult, I have learned the importance of standing up against bullying and superstitions. By speaking up and challenging harmful beliefs, we can create a safer and more inclusive world for ourselves and future generations. And at the end of the day, love and respect are what truly matter in any relationship.
