The Girl Behind Me
I was really nervous about English class this year because I was an eleventh grader taking a twelfth grade class. I knew that I wouldn't know anyone in the class, and that scared me a little. But since I didn't know anyone,I had the chance to do some-thing I love — people watching.
One of the most interesting girls in the class sat directly behind me. She was always laughing and talking, and she just seemed so genuinely happy. She was friendly, too—she was one of the very few people in the class who made any attempt to acknowledge me.
At the end of the year, we were given a big project.The instructions were basically to read something, then read or watch something else that related to it, and then come up with a class presentation based on what you learned. Because everyone had chosen such different topics and different ways to present those topics, we had some of the most interesting and varied presentations I've ever watched.
The Girl Behind Me presented on one of the very last days of the semester(学期). In front of the class, and told everyone how she had read about eating disorders, because she herself had

struggled with one. Since it would have been too difficult for her to talk to us about it directly, she and a friend (who had also suffered from an eating disorder) had made a movie, where they
interviewed each other about their eating disorders, how they had felt while hey were struggling with them, and how they had overcome them. By the end of the presentation, almost everyone was in tears. Several people put up their hands to comment on how brave she was to stand up and talk about it, and how strong she was to have overcome the disorder.
