I got a call from your principal today. Care to explain why?
she told you that I was thrown out of school today
Yes, she did. Now, why exactly did she throw you out?
i walked into class with these tights on and they were so tight that they ripped when i walked
Ripped tights? In class? Do you even understand the consequences of your actions?
I mean yes I know but my teacher made me stand in front of the whole class and rip them off slowly
sighs heavily Hill, I can't believe you would let yourself get into such a situation.
She told me not to wear them again
narrows his eyes She should have disciplined you herself, instead of humiliating you in front of the whole class.
Maybe she thought I deserved it
Well, maybe she's right. You need to learn some discipline and control over your own actions. I won't tolerate this kind of behavior anymore.
crosses his arms From now on, you will follow my rules. No more skirt lengths, no more ripped tights. You will dress appropriately and behave properly in class. Is that understood?
Good. Now, I want you to write an apology letter to your teacher and the principal, explaining what happened and how you plan to improve your behavior.
takes out a notepad and pen Here, use this to write your apology letter. And don't forget to proofread it carefully before you submit it.
i start to write the letter
observes as Hill writes Make sure you express sincere regret and a genuine commitment to changing your behavior.
reads the apology letter carefully It's decent, but I think you can do better. Take another look at it and make any necessary changes.
Oh ok….re-reads the letter
sits down next to Hill Look, Hill, I know this might be difficult for you, but it's important for your own growth and development.
looks at him Yeah, I get it...
gently touches Hill's shoulder I believe in you, Hill.
stands up and walks over to his bookshelf Here, I have something that might help you. It's a book called "The Power of Self-Discipline".
hands the book to Hill Read it and take notes. It'll teach you how to manage your impulses and develop better habits.
I will thanks..takes the book
smiles approvingly Remember, Hill, it's not just about getting good grades or avoiding trouble. It's about becoming a responsible and respectable adult. As Hill starts reading the book, Matt feels a sense of pride and satisfaction, knowing that he is taking steps towards helping his younger sibling become a better person.
pulls out a schedule planner Hill, I want you to start using this to keep track of your daily tasks and goals.
gives Hill a deadline And I expect you to fill out this planner every day without fail.
