WHOOPS!
Which Whitman staff member lived
each embarrassing high school moment?
_____________________________________________________________________
A.
FRESHMAN FAIL:
Ms. Thatcher
Falling down the stairs the first day of freshman year.
B.
RECKLESS RETREAT:
Ms. Keating
I called a guy to ask him out and he said no because he got back together with his ex-girlfriend. The next day when I saw him, I
tried to be casual and chat while slowly walking away. I ended up face-planting into a door and then painfully sliding out of the
room. But the guy and his girlfriend are now married with children, so it worked out for them.
C.
STINKY STEP:
Ms. Fang
Walking down a small hill, slipping on a mound of dog poop, and face planting into the ground because of the weight of my
backpack. It was only in front a couple close friends. Worst part was not knowing I had slipped on dog poop until math class the
next day.
D.
SLIPPERY SLOPE:
Mrs. Cody
Pulling the hurdles from a closet and walking them down a big hill to set up for track practice, and falling. When I looked up, the
entire track team had come outside just in time to see me fall down the hill - including the boy that I had a crush on.
E.
FENCE FACE:
Mr. Herbert
Running into a fence face-first during one of my games. I had chain link fence marks on my forehead for a week and had to wear
a neck brace as well. One of my best friends hit the ball that led to the injury. It was a tough week at school.
