ed to our high school from some fancy private school, i was assigned the job of
showing him around our building. first, i showed him our trophy case. our school has a
some quality teams and programs over the years, so our trophy case was pretty full. curtis was not
impressed. he claimed that the trophy case was at least twice as big as ours and much more crowded
next i showed him our swimming pool. not every high school has a swimming pool, so we were proud
of ours, but curtis couldn't care less. "the swimming pool at my old school is bigger and more modern.
this one looks kind of dirty," he said with disdain. i continued to guide curtis around the school,
showing him our cafeteria, gymnasium, and even our garden, but curtis seemed disappointed with
everything that he saw. he'd quickly compare it to his old school, which in his words was superior to
ours in every way. the last thing i showed curtis was the front door. i told him that he would like this
one best because he could walk through it and go back to his old school.
