My Field-Related Hypertext Narrative

My first day as a teacher.

It was my first day as being a real teacher. I was going to teach to a 6th grade class. Because it was my first day, I wanted to pull off my outfit to make a good impression to the students, so I had to make a choice.

Choice 1 : Pick a casual outfit.

Choice 2 : Pick a crazy outfit.

Pick a casual outfit.

I decided to wear a regular pair of jeans, a simple black t-shirt and some basic white shoes. I wanted to be comfortable while teaching the different subjects throughout the day. Once I left my house to go to the school and entered my car, I noticed that the gas tanks was on low. I needed to think about my time management, because I couldn't be late for my first day. What do I do?

Choice 1 : Go to the gas station.

Choice 2 : Go directly to school.

Pick a crazy outfit.

I decided to wear a black dress paired with some red high heels. I was excited to wear that outfit because the HR would see that I am professional. I left my house, once all ready, to go to the school. Once I arrived, I was very overwhelmed because I was scared that I was going to be a bad teacher, and that was not my goal. I needed to learn the ropes of the job anyway. Finally, I entered the school, and I realized that I forgot my lunch. What do I do?

Choice 1 : Do nothing and starve for the rest of the day.

Choice 2 : Go steal someone's lunch.

Go to the gas station.

I decided to go to the gas station. I had fifteen minutes to go there and then go to school. I calculated that it took me about 25 minutes to go to the school. I was extremely nervous. I arrived at the gas station, and I put the gas in my car. Once I was done with that, I went to the little store to pay. The cashier there was really weird. He kept looking at me with a bizarre look, but I didn't care because my only goal was to arrive as quickly as I could to my job. I go to pay, and he started threatening me about how he was going to steal my purse. I began to panic. What do I do?

Choice 1 : Call 911.

Choice 2 : Hit him and run away.

Go directly to school.

I decided to go directly to the school, so that I don't get late. I was a few minutes away and a train decided to pass right before me. Five minutes passed by, and I was now five minutes late. I couldn't believe that was happening to me. Also, my gas was practically at zero, I wanted to cry. What do I do?

Choice 1 : Leave my car there and run to the school.

Choice 2 : Wait for the train to pass and be extra late.

Call 911.

I hid outside and called 911. A few minutes later, they arrived at the gas station, and I told them what happened. The police officers told me that there were some complaints about him being a perpetrator, but it was never that serious. Finally, they arrested him, and I felt a lot safer afterwards. I couldn't believe all of that happened in such little time. I took off, and arrived at school a little late, but explained everything to the principal's office, and they understood. I arrived in my class and began my wonderful day as being a teacher.

Hit him and run away.

He got very violent, so I hit him in the face and ran away. I didn't even got the time to go back in my car, I just ran to the nearest store. I spotted a Chinese restaurant that could maybe help me. I entered the store and explained what happened. They were all shocked and said that we needed to call the police asap. I had the choice to stay in the restaurant and wait for the police to come or to go back to the gas station and make sure the cashier is still there, so that the police officers can arrest him. What do I do?

Choice 1 : Stay in the restaurant.

Choice 2 : Go back to the gas station.

Wait for the train to pass and me extra late.

The right thing to do was to wait for the train to pass. I couldn't believe I was going to be late, even on my first day, what a shame. It was so maddening. Hopefully, this won't happen more often than not. Besides all of that, I was stoked to present all the games I had planned for my students, I crossed my fingers hoping they'll like it.

Leave my car there and run to the school.

I left my car on the side of the road, and ran as fast as I could. I arrived to school all sweaty, it was kind of gross. On the bright side, I wasn't late! I could finally start my wonderful day as a teacher.

Go steal someone's lunch.

I couldn't stay here all day and not eat. I would've passed out in front of my class, that's a bit embarrassing. So, I decided that during the first break in the evening, I would steal one of my coworker's lunch box. A few hours go by, and it's time. I sneaked myself in the lunch area for the teachers, and I opened the fridge. There were a lot of options to choose from. There was this bright yellow lunch box that stood out for me, so I took it. Right when I'm about to go back to my classroom, another teacher walked in. She asked me why was I holding her lunch box. I had to come up quickly with something to say.

Choice 1 : Say that someone left it on the table, and you were going to put it back in the fridge.

Choice 2 : Say that is yours.

Do nothing and starve for the rest of the day.

I was very disappointed in myself, I remembered that I put in right beside my front door. Also, the school sells no food. I hoped that I wouldn't get too hungry while correcting some essays.

Stay in the restaurant.

I decided to stay safe at the restaurant and wait for the police to come. While I was waiting, I called the school, so that I could have a leave of absence for a few days in order to recover of everything that happened. I was bummed out because I was stocked for my first day, but that event traumatized me. I went back home and rested.

Go back to the gas station.

We all ran back to the gas station, and to our surprise, the place was on fire. The suspect did that, so that he could run away from that situation. The police officers arrived a few minutes after that, but it was too late. I was disappointed that we couldn't find him and arrest him for what he did. I decided to go to work even after that event. I had a purpose, a goal, for the day, and that was to teach to my new students.

Say that someone left it on the table, and you were going to put it back in the fridge.

I said that someone left it on the table and that I was going to put it back. She thanked me, and didn't seem suspicious of me, gladly! I acted as if nothing happened and continued my day, hungry...

Say that is yours.

Confidently, I said it was mine. She responded back rudely that it was actually hers, and to check what's inside to prove it. Awkwardly, I opened the lunch box and admitted that it was hers. It was very embarrassing. I left as quickly as I could, and went back to my class.
