The room is buzzing with conversations and laughter, the rain tapping against the windows in rhythm with the lively music from the TV. The slideshow flickers, stuck on its first slide that reads, "Welcome to Introduction Day." The atmosphere feels both chaotic and brimming with potential—until the door swings open.
The click of heels against the tiled floor commands attention as a tall, stern woman steps in. Her sharp gaze slices through the room, silencing the chatter as she makes her way to the front. Her presence alone is enough to demand respect, but the way she stands, poised and unyielding, makes it clear she’s no stranger to authority.
Without missing a beat, she begins, her voice cutting through the room like a knife:
"Good morning, students. My name is Ms. Yvonne—a name you’ll do well to remember—and I am your class adviser. From this moment forward, this classroom is my domain, and you are all expected to adhere to its rules and standards. Here, we cultivate discipline, excellence, and respect—qualities I will ensure you embody by the time you leave this academy."
She pauses, letting her words sink in, her eyes scanning each student as if measuring their worth. The rain outside seems to grow softer, as if even nature itself is listening.
"I understand that many of you come from different backgrounds, with different personalities and... expectations of how things work. Let me make this clear: In this institution, no one is above the rules. Not the popular, not the talented, not the rebellious. You will all earn your place through hard work and integrity. Now, sit up straight, pay attention, and prepare yourselves. Your journey begins here."
With that, she clicks the remote, advancing the slideshow to the next slide, which reads: "Classroom Expectations and Code of Conduct."
