I pulled back the schoolbag from his hand and for the first time, I pushed him away and hit him on the back. In the rest of the lesson, I did nothing but imagined what was happening next.

Then the teacher came to me，“Peter, are you OK？”

“Yes，” I answered.

“No, you are not. Come to my office after class，” he said.

There we had a long talk. He made me smile and I became confident(自信的) again. He taught me some life lessons, and said, “Get up, and don't be a bully yourself, but remember you are stronger inside, and if the bullies see this, they will stop.”

I remembered these words. From then on, every time I walked to school, I put my head high in the way, and the bullying soon stopped.

When I was in the seventh grade, I had problems behaving. My heart was in the right place, but I couldn’t always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once I even pulled a girl’s hair on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I was repeatedly sent to the office of the principal.

Although I hated going there, I did not hate hate the principal. Mr. Ratcliff. Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked（打屁股）me for putting some ants into a classmate’s pencil box, it didn’t hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so much of him and moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad.

When I got called to Mr. Ratcliff’s office for the sixth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said the last thing I expected to hear: “Kevin, I’ve heard you’ve been behaving really well lately. I want you to know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint.”

“Really?” I was surprised.

“Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class.”

I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged（吹嘘）to my classmates about my turnaround, excitedly. I wasn’t so bad after all.

Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kind who had problems with behavior. He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something-anything-right. Mr. Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.
