What is one of your
embarrassing memories?
When I was in high school, we had an evacuation drill. It was 1,300 kids standing in a single file line for two hours, and about five minutes in, I realized that I had to pee so badly. After basically crying for two hours because I was trying to hold it in, I finally apprached the superintndent of the school, who was surrounded by armed police officers, and I said, ”If I don’t go to the bathroom now, I am going to wet myself.” I had to be escorted by an armed guard to a bathroom, where the guard had to stand outside of the stall the entire time. They had to hold the buses for me because they finally evacutaed during the four minutes I was away.
