Chapter 155 Review
During morning assembly, all the teachers and students gathered in the playground. When it was time for each class to review their work, Lan Sizhui, at the signal of his homeroom teacher, stepped onto the podium.
He stood before the microphone, his small body held straight, his face devoid of any stage fright, only a perfectly composed seriousness. Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi, both in the audience, were sweating for him, fearing he might be too nervous to speak.
"Good morning, teachers and students." Lan Sizhui's voice came through the microphone, clear and steady. "I'm Lan Sizhui from Class 1 (3) of Junior High School. Last Tuesday, I skipped school, claiming a stomachache, for personal reasons. This caused trouble for my teachers and classmates, and also worried my family. I'm deeply sorry for this."
He bowed slightly and said sincerely, "Skipping school is wrong. It not only violates school rules, but also disappoints my teachers. More importantly, my willfulness has caused those who care about me to worry, which is the last thing I should have done. Here, I apologize to my homeroom teacher, to all the teachers and classmates who were worried about me, and to my family."
"I promise that this will never happen again. I will abide by the school rules, study hard, and live up to everyone's trust."
A brief review, without any unnecessary excuses, and every word was full of sincerity.
There was silence in the audience at first, then sparse applause broke out and gradually became enthusiastic.
The homeroom teacher stood in the audience, looking at Lan Sizhui on the podium, his eyes filled with satisfaction. This child not only had excellent grades, but also had good character. He could admit his mistakes so frankly and apologize so sincerely, which was truly rare.
After the morning meeting, the head teacher called Lan Sizhui to the office.
"Sizhui," the teacher handed him a glass of water and said with a smile, "Your review just now was very good. I know you are a sensible child."
Lan Sizhui took the cup of water and whispered, "Thank you, teacher. I won't make the same mistake again."
"The teacher believes in you." The head teacher nodded, speaking gently. "You study hard and unite with your classmates. The teachers all like you very much. Just treat this incident as a lesson. Think more about the consequences of your actions in the future, okay?"
"Yeah!" Lan Sizhui nodded vigorously.
"Okay, go back to class." The teacher patted his shoulder, "Don't let it affect your studies."
“Thank you, teacher!”
Lan Sizhui walked out of the office, feeling relieved. He looked up at the sky, the sun was shining brightly, and his heart was also bright.
Back in the classroom, Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi immediately surrounded them.
"Si Zhui, you were amazing just now!" Lan Jingyi said with admiration, "If it were me, I would have been so nervous that I would have been speechless."
Jin Ling rarely refrained from arguing, and simply snorted, "You're quite responsible."
Lan Sizhui smiled and returned to his seat. He knew that the reason he had earned the understanding of his teachers and classmates this time was not only because of his sincere self-reflection, but also because of his past accumulation.
Being a good student, polite, and capable may not be an excuse for making mistakes, but they can make people more willing to believe in your repentance when you make mistakes.
What he can do is live up to this trust and do better in the future.
The bell rang, and Lan Sizhui pulled out his textbook, his eyes focused. Sunlight streamed through the window onto his face, illuminating his serious expression and illuminating the clearer path of growth within him.
Some mistakes are only worth making once. The important thing is to learn from them and then move forward with that awareness.
He believed that as long as he behaved well and studied hard, his father would get better soon, and they would be able to live together happily as a family like before.
This idea, like a tiny seed, took root in his heart and became the driving force for his efforts.
