Free Essay On The Day I Stood Alone

It was a beautiful Friday morning when I woke up and prepared myself for the day. I knew it was not just going to be an ordinary day for me and my classmates plus other students. That day we were to go for a demonstration demanding from the administration that all students should be awarded their rightful marks for a particular class that we had undertaken mid-semester last year. The results were finally out, but nobody was happy with the results from that class. The professor who taught that class was known to lose papers once students submitted them, then he distributed marks randomly. The professor's actions were totally against the school laws and regulations. All these accusations were rumors that we heard around campus for quite some time, but now our class was the one experiencing it first-hand. We had all received our results, but it seemed that none of us had even got half the pass mark. This was very surprising because the class was quite simple, even the exam that we took, so we all expected to pass. I had communicated with my classmates, and they also had the same experience. I mobilized fellow students, and we agreed that the following day we were all going to demonstrate to the principal's office and present our issue with the professor and explain all that had happened. I majestically marched to the principal's office holding the paper from the course ready to submit it to the principal. I expected to find my classmates already there chanting demonstration songs and holding placards, but to my surprise, I found myself alone. I tried calling my classmates, but to no avail. Nevertheless, I walked into the principal's office only to find the principal with the said professor having a discussion. The principal informed me that they had a meeting with the professor and settled the matter. I felt betrayed by my classmates because none of them told me that there was a resolution on the issue and there was no need for me to go to the principal's office early in the morning.
