With anticipation in my eyes I looked at my 4th grade teacher. When my teachers eyes finally met mine he said one simple sentence that changed my life forever: “you are the mouse that dies”. I was shocked, stunned, mortified. I ran through the situation through my head again. “There are two mice stuck in a pitcher of milk; one gives up and drowns while the other kicks and kicks untill the milk turns to butter”. Confused I listened to my teacher again, while he went all the way around the room telling everyone except for me that they were the mouse that kicks the milk into butter. I could not believe what had happened; why was I the one who was singled out? Am I really that bad of a kid? From that day on I have been determined to be the second mouse.
