Cui Di, my alma mater, this sacred place that once guided me, an ignorant child, into the ocean of knowledge. As I was about to leave my alma mater, I once again walked the path I had taken for six years. Although many memories had faded in my mind, the incident that moved my heart was something I could never forget!
It was in the third grade. One day, the teacher was teaching us about "straight lines, rays, and line segments," and everyone was listening attentively. After finishing the lesson, the teacher asked if there was anything anyone didn’t understand. Everyone was thinking. Suddenly, I remembered a question and stood up to ask, "Teacher, why does a ray have only one endpoint and not two?" After I finished, I tilted my head, waiting for the teacher’s answer. At that moment, I heard laughter and low murmurs from my classmates. I felt extremely uncomfortable and longed for the teacher to answer quickly. For some reason, the teacher’s expression changed from cheerful to grim, gradually turning green.
"!" The teacher slapped the desk and roared, "Why do you have two eyes and not just one? Why are you Cui Di and not Cui Niu or Cui Ma?" The classmates burst into laughter. I was stunned by this sudden outburst and my eyes filled with tears. I didn’t know how I sat down, and after sitting down, the teacher said some sarcastic remarks, which made me cry even more, leaning my head on the desk. From then on, the teacher changed his perception of me. At school, the teacher wouldn’t let the classmates play with me. Among them, I received countless cold stares. I felt like a lone goose separated from the flock, and I cried even more. But at that time, who cared about or loved me? I was only nine years old! How could a nine-year-old child endure such a blow! So, I could only use books to hide my pain, studying tirelessly. I was no longer seen playing with my classmates, and my personality became solitary.
At that time, in my innocent heart, there was only one thought: "Teacher, I hate you!" Now, I am walking on this path again, looking at the gate of our school and the office still lit with lights. I really want to shout to Teacher Wang, "Teacher, you hurt my heart. When I leave my alma mater, I want to advise you: don’t use indifference to hurt children like me anymore. Not only will you cause harm to children, but you will also lose the love of their innocent hearts."
