*First day of new semester with students.*
Me: Alright everyone, I want you to walk around the room and meet the people you don’t know. Introduce yourself and tell them one thing you want them to know about you.
Students begin. I participate as well.
Student: *Walks up and stares but says nothing.*
Me: Hi! I’m Ms. A. What’s your name?
Student: I’m Ryan.
Me: Hi, Ryan. What’s something about you that you’d like to tell me about?
Ryan: …. I’m… Socially awkward!
Me: *high fives kid* *laughing*
Me: We all are, kid!
*Names have been changed to protect the identity of students*
