At the school. The 5th grade history teacher tells the different pictures of the painting to the students.
"Okay, students tell me what is the name of the picture of the brown mountain?" She shows the painting to the students.
"It's somewhat a kind of mountain that it's like mount. Austin." Patricia replied.
"That's wrong!" She replied back to the student who answered.
"What?!"
"Okay, here's the next picture," She shows the next picture to the students. It's a person who writes Romeo and Juliet, "Tell me what picture is that?"
"It's a person that writes different scriptures." Patricia tries her best to answer the part but, the teacher told her that ones wrong.
When the school bell starts to ring. She tells the students that they will continue their thing tomorrow with a stare at Patricia.
Patricia tells her friends that she got beat up by her history teacher. But, one of her friends told her that practice makes perfect.
So when she puts her things back at the locker. She gets surrounded by several school bullies.
"So rabbit," The bully said questioning, "What's my favorite fist to attack you?"
"Okay," Patricia replied guessing, "Let me guess... It's your left hand."
"Wrong," He grabs her on the right here, "Looks like you need to stay at the locker until someone had saved you." He puts her at the school locker.
While Sugi is talking to Carrie. He hears someone talking at the locker. He opens it causing Patricia to fell on the ground with him exclaiming.
"Thank you very much." She gets up and cleans her own clothes."
"Patricia," Sugi exclaimed and questions to her, "How did you get in the locker?"
"The bullies got me." Patricia replied.
"How? Did the bullies got you?"
"First, he questions me what bully hand he is about to use to attack me. Then, I told him that it's the left hand. But, the right answer is the right hand."
"Look Patricia," Carrie said the solutions, "Don't let them get onto you. All you have to do is to think before you speak. Got it."
"Okay." Patricia replied, "I'll do it."
When she returns home. His father tells her about what she did at the school. She tells him that everything is bad because he gets beaten up by the history teacher and the bully put her at the school locker.
"What!?" Her father exclaimed after she finishes her story, "You really got victim end at the school?!"
"Exactly." She gets beaten and fall over.
"Take it easy Patricia," He catches her daughter, "Don't let them get through you."
"But, how am I suppose to do that?"
"Look the only way that you can do is to think before you speak. Do you get that."
"Think before speaking. Okay. I'll do whatever it takes."
Patricia will take note on what her father and her friends said to him while she goes back to her room.
The next morning. The history class questions to her about how many stars does the North American have in the flag. Patricia raises her hand as she looks at her. She has to think of an answer first before she can speak to the teacher.
"Okay," Patricia answers the question, "The number of stars on the flag is 56."
"That's correct," Her teacher replied happily, "How did you get it right?"
"I guess... I managed to think first before I speak."
"Well... That seems right and that's very intelligent."
The students clapped and cheered at her as she managed to answer it correctly.
At the school canteen. Patricia tells her friends about the history thing. Carrie exclaimed when she sees this information. Sugi didn't know that she can do that. Jacquai understands on what she said and she will do it when it's her class time. Ice will do the same thing because he is going to need that at the computer programming thing.
Patricia keeps on track on how she can progress her thinking until the tough quiz where Patricia gets hard luck when she knew that the quiz will be easy. But, her progress will still work no matter what.
When the math papers had been returned. She failed on that test because there are things that are required to solve other than thinking it out. Well as for now she has to use it wisely whether it is need or very important.
