Mrs. Broderick: The Cause Of Adversity In High School
I slam the car door shut and sprint to the front of the school. I arrive to the doors to see a huge crowd, it was the day before I started 5th grade and I was going to find out who my teacher was. I squeeze through the crowd and look at the top row of papers. Scanning each sheet of paper for my name. Found it! “Mrs.Broderick?” I say the name out loud, pronouncing it wrong. I got the new teacher. Seriously?! I groan in annoyance and stomp back to the car. I know I was being dramatic but she was not the teacher I wanted. I open the car door and force a smile on my face. My dad smiles back, and then we were gone. I only spent one year with Mrs.Broderick, but that one year was enough for me to completely adore Mrs.Broderick.

Although Margaret seems to not choose a side, it is obvious through her strong diction and testimonies that she believes that appointing a single valedictorian is an unfair custom throughout U.S. schools.
