Topic > Narrative Essay: Why Did I Fail Kindergarten? - 1109

My gym teacher gave us Delaney cards to fill out with our names and other information. So I did it. Finally comes the moment when he reads Delaney's papers and can't read my name. He literally said, “What is this chicken scratch?” All the children started laughing. Now, this may not seem like fun or a big deal to you, but as a sixth grader, it was. So after reading all the cards I was the only one not called and she asked me if this was my card. I say, “Yes,” and she asked, “What's my name.” I said my name and then she asked me how to spell it. Things got more awkward because I had to write my full name in front of the whole class. Maybe if I had a nice normal name it wouldn't be so embarrassing but I have a long and damn weird name
