It's been a crazy roller coaster thinking about that it’s been 1 year since the greatest opportunity came by for a chance to make a great change in reality. It begins like a normal day of freshman focus and then one of my favorite peer counselors arrives a few minutes late which my day brighten up a little bit and then the advisor of freshman focus calls him over and I thought it would be a little chat and then carry on, but then I heard him arguing with the teacher and I started to get a little worried because I never seen him get angry before which reminded me of the past when I made a boy pissed off when I was trying to talk to him. They were still arguing and then I see him grab his stuff and slams his chocolate chip muffin in the trash can which made me terrified and then he slammed the door which also spooked me and I was wondering if this was an early April fools prank that I thought crossed multiple lines. I was wondering to myself if he was coming back or that he got kicked out. Then after he left another peer counselor Carl starts freaking out and started yelling at the advisor and said you just can't kick out Justin like that. I said one word “no" I almost started crying. I felt startled, numb, devastated, and grieve. Then the advisor tells Carl to leave and he said that he wanted to drop out of being a peer counselor because he believed that the advisor did not have a good reason to kick out Justin. After more screaming, he slammed the door and went to his grade administrator to drop out of that class. I was thinking about what I didn't get to get the opportunity to do and one of the biggest things was that I never got the chance to hug Justin. I was thinking about asking the advisor if Justin was kicked out for good, but I was scared that he would give me an attitude and say didn't you listen?! He is no longer a peer counselor. It got to the point that I couldn't deal with this anymore, I felt concerned and I didn't want to process in my head that he was kicked out so I walked up to the advisor and asked if I talked to him outside, then I asked if Justin was kicked out for good and he replied all happy and that was pretty bizarre, but in the bright side he said no and I felt so relieved and said Thank God!!! And was about to turn on my phone to tweet the good news and then I had so many questions to ask, but he said that we were going to confront Carl, Justin, and their Grade Administrator and I was freaking out because I knew that this is going to be so awkward and then it sparked. This is a great opportunity for a chance to hug Justin!!! On the way to the Grade Administrator I was thinking to myself should I hug him or should I not. When we entered the GA's office and at first sight I felt numb and walked up to Justin and gave him a hug for the first time!!! I was in so much shock that I almost blacked out. His reaction was awww Bryn!!! And I felt that meant you are the sweetest and caring person ever, I think I tried to give him another hug, but my body randomly shook and that's when I knew that this is not a dream, and this is reality. What learned from this experience is you have to be patient to find the perfect opportunity  to make the greatest memory that will last a lifetime. I found out that is wasn't an April fools prank and it was a skit to teach us about what not to do during a conflict. We ended up looking at a yearbook that everyone looked like guidos from jersey shore and then the 2 PCs went back to the freshmen focus room to tell everyone else that it was only a joke and took a bow and then Carl gave me the cue to come back in the room and when I entered the room, it was silent and I tried to hide my smile to pretend that I was in the bathroom, but it was just too impossible. Because of the incident that happened in freshmen focus, every time I saw him, I would always walk up to him to give a hug. The fake fight ended up creating a bond that is very special to me. If you’re wondering why this bond is special, it’s because I was suffering with depression at the beginning of my freshmen year and he would make my day with his humor and kindness to me and everyone else. If something is bugging you, don't be afraid to tell someone you will feel so much better and maybe something special will happen.....
UPDATE: One of my Peer Counselors Carl passed away on May 12, 2017 I don't know the cause of death, but he will be missed. He was a great guy and I'm so blessed that I got to meet him. R.I.P Carl Legg 1994-2017
this has to be one of the greatest memory of my life. <3 Check out the picture that i took a week later after this incident 68cupcake.deviantart.com/art/1…
