English Teacher

The shy college student said she did not want to speak English That English speakers make fun of her often The teacher assured the student that some people are insecure That some people just want to feel superior to others This made the student feel much better Days later in a casual conversation while walking from the classroom The student told the teacher that homosexuality is a crime in her culture That she too is adamantly against it The teacher reminded the student that this is another example of wanting to feel superior The student completely disagreed with the teacher And she felt much better- maybe even superior
