How do you perceive someone?

In a gloomy and dark classroom a student is sitting in the back of the class.

The classroom reminds you of a small prison with windows, and the instructor as the warden. As she sits and takes notes, and listens carefully to what the instructor tells the class, she is wondering why she is not feeling herself.” I wish I knew a way to express myself or a way to let the instructor know I do not really like him.”

Every day in class she finds the seat, as far away from the front of the class, she looks what the instructor writes on the board. Taking notes and looking in her text book so she can have a better understanding. A fellow student asks a question and was given an answer that had nothing to do with what the question was. The students are getting very upset that he never answers the questions. The student decides to look for a word that really explains on how she is feeling.

She sits and ponders what will happen next and if she can persevere the feelings she has inside of not being a good enough student. The student finally decides to take her challenge up to a higher force. She needs all the help she can get. She finds a coach that told her that they would look into this situation and contact her of any solutions they might have.

Finally the day has come she was given a few ways on how to deal with this nettlesome instructor. The solution’s is basically what everyone has told her DEAL WITH IT, or talk to the person in private. She is not very happy because the instructor is a type of person who believes that they are never wrong since they are the teacher. The student finalaly came to a compromise that she believes that both her and the instructor could deal with. She
