Starting my class for the first time all of the normal things run
through my head when I'm about to walk in front of a group; did I remember
everything I need for class? Did I zip my pants? Do I have a bugger hanging?
All normal right?
I begin with what
I felt was a normal request..."Let’s go around the room and tell me who
you and what you hope to gain out of this class." At first I get the range
of normal responses..."I want to learn more so I can better position
myself to move into an industry that shows growth..." blah blah blah. By
the third person I suddenly regret asking the question. Then I get to the last
student. His response made it all worthwhile..."I hope to learn a more technical skill that will advance me into a
higher paying career and move me beyond the hell I currently know, which is
stocking the feminine hygiene isle at Wal-mart." Naturally the whole class
lost it. My response..."Well you sound like a goal oriented person...welcome
to the class!"
It doesn’t end
there. This week the same guy comes into class 15 minutes late, looks like he
just rolled about of bed. As he shuffles to his seat big gulp in hand he speaks
up and says, “Sorry for being late sir....I thought I had plenty of time, but
she wanted to cuddle afterwards and you know how chics dig cuddling."
I might have met
my match with this guy, but nonetheless he is funny and has no problem telling
you what he really thinks. He has a bright future!
Hang onto something...I'm sure we're moments away from fart and boob jokes with this guy!
