She began speaking
and mistaking her conversation
or monologue as it were
as being directed towards me
I gave my attention and listed.
After a few sentenses it seemed less like address
and more as a self affirmation
of the situation for which she was encountering
with a college professor.
See, equipt with the wrong information
she emailed her assignment
due today at noon
to an incorrect mailbox.
Upon registering her aberration
she back tracked
contacting her professor
inquiring whether she could be permitted
to resubmit her assignment
regardless of points being subtracted
from what might have been her well earned grade.
She explained herself fully
expressing acknoledgement and responsibility for her actions.
Yet he said
no
not caring how much effort she put into making things right
not caring that since she hasn't means to sit comfortably at home
she uses the libray and restricted to their hours and her own.
Was it right?
I can't see how.
What ever happened to
giving people the benefit of doubt?
No one is perfect
we're all human subject to any kind of missed step.
But seeing as I know not of what may have transpired
prior to this pivotal moment
like the others around who might have heard
one can only speculate.
