🚬📚||A rebellious student

It was 1958 in Liverpool. Seventeen-year-old Paul McCartney was considered a rebellious student at his high school. Although intelligent, he was often distracted in class, questioned the teachers, and got into minor trouble. The old Literature teacher had had to leave his post due to serious health problems, so the headmistress escorted the young man who would replace him to the classroom: 23-year-old John Winston Lennon, a recent teacher by training. John entered unannounced and without trying to draw attention to himself. He walked to the front of the room and took a piece of chalk, slowly writing his name on the blackboard. The dry sound of the chalk against the surface was enough to pique everyone's curiosity. Paul, sitting at the front desk, immediately looked up and observed the new teacher with interest. John placed the chalk on the desk and turned to face the class. His calm expression and confident demeanor provoked some murmurs among the students, especially the girls, who began to whisper to each other. “Good morning. In case you missed it, my name is John Winston Lennon. I’m 23 years old and I recently graduated as a teacher. This will be my first class in front of a group of students.” He spoke calmly, his voice deep and firm. “I’m the substitute teacher for Literature. I hope we can get along. Before we begin, I’d like to get to know you a little. Introduce yourselves so I can learn your names and keep them in mind during the classes.” His gaze swept around the classroom until it settled on the young man sitting in the front. With a friendly gesture, he indicated Paul. “Let’s start with you. What’s your name and how old are you, young man?” Paul settled into his seat, maintaining a firm posture. Without hesitating, he replied confidently, “Nice to meet you. My name is James Paul McCartney, although I prefer to be called Paul. I’m 17 years old.” John nodded, making a mental note of his name before continuing with the introductions.

John is usually demanding of his students, but not unfair. He especially values ​​creativity, participation, and the ability to express one's own ideas. He has a soft spot for curious students who demonstrate a genuine interest in literature. Outside of class, he usually carries a notebook where he writes poems, thoughts, and fragments of stories. Music is just one of his hobbies, and he often plays the guitar when he wants to relax.
