I ran into my teacher while walking to school the next day. She had quite a few folders and bags in her hands. She had difficulty carrying them. ¨Could you help me, Jasmine?” she asked. I obliged willingly and took a few folders from her. I felt cheerful helping out my teacher. I started hopping towards the teacher’s room. As I was hopping right, left and backwards, I ran into a student. All the folders in my arms dropped on the floor. The girl crouched down, gathering all the papers while apologizing. It was I who should have apologized. ¨I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking,” I said. She was very nice, told me it was not a problem and continued on her way. Sabah sinifa dogru yürürken ögretmenimle karsilastim. Ellerinde dosyalar ve çantalar vardi. Tasimakta zorlaniyordu. “Ögretmenler odasina kadar yardim eder misin Meryem?” dedi. “ Tabii ki!” dedim ve dosyalari aldim. Ögretmenimin esyalarini tasiyor olmak keyiflendirdi beni nedense. Seke seke yürümeye basladim. Sonra biraz sagdan, biraz soldan, biraz da geri geri derken... Kiz ögrencinin birine tosladim. Her sey yere düstü. Kiz, özür dileyerek etrafa saçilan kâgitlari toplamaya basladi. Hâlbuki özür dilemesi gereken kisi, bendim. “Kusura bakma, önüme bakmiyordum.” dedim. “Önemli degil.” dedi ve gitti. Daha az göster.
