My co-editor is not a very nice person. She is selfish and doesn’t work well with others. Her way is the only way, at least to her. A lot of people don’t like her because she is like this, and more people than that are afraid of her. I used to be like that until I decided to stand up to her. I was sick of her missing class, treating me and the rest of the staff like crap, and thinking that she was in charge of everything when we were supposed to be working together. I didn’t back down, even when she was cussing me out. I wasn’t rude or anything. I didn’t stoop to her level of language, nor did I give in. I stood firm. I was so angry with her though. This was not the first time she treated me like that. Somehow, a lot of people found out about it, even people I don’t really talk to. One kid in my second period class the next day gave me a high five because I stood up to her. It is something a lot of people wanted done, but I guess no one had the guts nor the opportunity to do it. I didn’t do it to be mean, but I did it in order to make sure our yearbook would be finished by our deadline. My teacher even told me she was proud that I stood up to her because she knows how she acts and treats people. This is a girl who thinks she is on top of the world and is better than everyone else, yet I think when I stood up to her and didn’t back down from her crap, realized that she wasn’t as powerful as she thought.
