It was my first day in my school after shifting. I studied upto 5th standard in my previous school which shut down due to some reason. So, in this school I had to go in 6A8(my section). In my previous school, the class boards were written in normal numbers like 5-A. And over her they were written in Roman numbers like VA-7, like that. And I was really weak in Roman numbers. So when I reached the new school, I was irritated at the fact of the class plates being in Roman form. However I knew that 6 was IV or VI but not sure. So what I did was I stood in front of IV-A8, thing it was VI-A8. And 15 minutes passed like that and not a single student entered the class. I was like, "They all had to be absent today?!". Then a teacher passed by me. She asked me which class I was in. I just pointed to IV-A8 . She just smiled and left, not a single word uttered from her mouth. Then with all my guts, I went in the vacant classroom, took off my abaya, kept my bag and was just roaming in the class. Suddenly I noticed a Roman numerals chart in the class, When I saw it, I directly saw the Roman numeral for the number "6", it was "VI". I did not remember which class I entered in, so I went outside the class to check it, I saw IV but until that I had forgotten what was on the chart, IV or VI. So, once again went back in the class, came out of the class. Then I knew what a big blunder I had made! Wore the Abaya, put the bag on, switched off the lights, fan and AC's(yeah it had 3 AC'S). Stood outside for couple of minutes and as I am an introvert, I was not free to ask people where was VI-A8. But now a lot of time passed. There was a girl just running to her class, as the first period already started and in a haste I asked her to please direct me to VI-A8. she refused first, as she was getting late, but then I insisted so she agreed. She took me to the 2nd floor, and pointed out at the end of a corridor and said that it was the last class in the corridor. I said thank you but she ran in an opposite direction not listening to me... However when I finally reached the class, already 20 minutes were over. A poster making competition was going on.. My class teacher welcomed me, introduced me, asked me to fill a form and then handed me the poster and explained me the topic, it was, "Environment Day"! While making the poster, I took an oath to learn Roman numbers perfectly. And later on I learned that actually 3-5 grades were having holidays. So now I know why that teacher just smiled and went... However this was the most embarrassing moment of my life which now you know. By the way, now I am in 9th in that same school, IISJ. My previous school, HIS. In Jeddah, KSA!
True incident..
Is it relatable..
Anyone from Jed, KSA?
And anyone studying in IISJ or used to study in HIS?
Hope bought a smile on your face and made your day!
