(2) "New Classmates"


(2)
“New Classmates”
cji
3/22/19
Unknown names
never heard before
unpronounceable
Prof at front of room
looking at the roster
throws it aside
then asks all to write
name DOB home
everyone looks around
quick one student asks
‘can we print?’
others chuckle
one says ‘I can’t write’
Prof shakes head
‘ask person next to you’
‘she doesn’t speak English’
Prof shakes head
‘do the best you can!’
